Background: I've had an ASUS Essentio CM1730 (http://www.asus.com/Desktops/Essentio_CM1730/#specifications), and I wasn't into the gaming and electronic business. I figured when people said desktops are better, I didn't know ALL were not the same. I had a low budget and simply upgraded my graphics card to a AMD Radeon HD 6670, for it would accustom to the PSU of an actual wage of 300w, rather than the displayed 350w. Some important specifications were not listed: CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 220 2.8GHz, and obviously AMD Radeon HD 6670. It did well, but not enough in this modern age of graphical advancements in gaming. I was allowed to play on High texture settings and such, but some such as anti-aliasing, shadow, etc. were turned down to maintain a playable framerate, 10-30 FPS. However, it was quite visible that the lag affected the gameplay, I didn't want to turn down the settings any further.
Main Idea: Details of my computer listed above, but now I'm saving up and I want professional help or merely someone who owns a budget computer that runs well. REQUIREMENTS I want the cheapest possible upgrades, that allows me to play on at least settings no lower than high, with other graphical improvements maxed out at a framerate that is steady and fast. Not exactly what I said, but the idea of a beast computer for the cheapest. My budget is let's say $600.
