This is not a gaming computer and i am only looking for decent graphics on the low end games like Plants Vs Zombies, Zuma, and the like. Right now the graphics are not even up to this simple task.
Asus F2A55-M/M11BB/DP_MB - Motherboard
AMD A10-6700 - APU
ASU16D3LU1KBG/8G - 8Gb ram single dimm so single channel at 800MHz with CL11 PC3-12800
Integrated AMD Radeon HD8670D graphics with no dedicated vram so operating as same 800MHz as the single channel ram.
Crappy power supply labeled as 350W peak but with two +12V rails at 13 amps each for a total of 216W on the +12VDC and 286W total when not including the -12V or the +5Vsb
Question: Would getting a matched DIMM set so I can run the memory in dual channel mode help significantly? Should I get a better power supply and new graphics card and simply disable the onboard graphics? Is it worth getting a AMD card and running dual graphic with the APU?
My guess would be to upgrade the power supply, get a low end graphics card (prefer Nvidia), and forget about the memory or dual graphics and just move on.
Any recommendations for a decent low end video card for low end gaming?
