Can i upgrade my graphics card to geforce gtx 750 TI?

[GoDziLLa714]

Im not a good with computers much but i was wondering will my Desktop handle it my specs are:

Processor: AMD Quad Core A10-6700 @ (3.7GHz)
Motherboard : Aspire 120 TC-120 ( I think)
Video Card: AMD Radeon 8670D Graphics
Hard Disk: 1TB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive
Physical Memory: 4GB DDR3 Dual Channel Memory
Power supply: 200W
Here is a link just in case i missed something.

A 200 watt power supply it too low powered for a discrete graphics card. It would need to be upgraded as well. You have an available PCI-Ex16 slot, so yes, the 750Ti would work in your system once the power supply is upgraded. Look for something from Antec, Corsair (non-CX models), FSP, Seasonic, or XFX in the 400-550 watt range.

Sweet i was planning to change the wattage 400wats so that's good thanks for that info man. So for RAM tho should i just add an extra 4 gigs or 2?

Personally, given the sometimes difficult task of finding matching RAM and not running into compatibility issues with what you already have, I'd generally recommend just replacing what you have with a 2x4GB kit. Otherwise, I'd probably go with an extra 4GB of RAM.

alright got ya thanks man. Hey i just upgraded my desktop i got a 430w thermal and got the geforce gtx 750 ti and it runs amazing i jst need to get ram but ill do that later. but my concern is since my radeon graphics are integrated to my cpu do i disable them or just dnt mess with them?

 

[Wolfshadw]

Don't mess with them. It's not necessary to disable them and on the off chance your graphics card dies, you'll need them to get back into your system.

Without knowing exactly what motherboard you have, it's impossible for us to say.

Acer

Aspire TC-120
My cousin and i were talking about it being the fact that FM2 only goes up to the AMD A10 6800 and ive been reading tht it wont handle bf4 or advanced warfare pretty good i was wondering what from my system can i upgrade to have a btr gaming desktop for a budget price?

 

[Wolfshadw]

Ok. Finally found some motherboard specifications and yes, that memory (2x4GB DDR30-1600) should work.

As far as BF4 is concerned, I'm not a gamer so I don't know what specs are required for it. I already stated that the current power supply is too weak for a discrete graphics card, so that would be the first upgrade. After that, I'd be looking for a decent graphics card. Beyond that, you're looking at a new core system (Motherboard/CPU/RAM).

alright

o alright then well i did upgrade my psu with a 430w thermal and as for the motherboard and cpu which would be a good one to get for cause i might do tht probably in the future or soo

Again, that's going to depend on your budget, but to be sure to not lose any performance, I'd be looking at an Intel Core I5 processor and new socket 1150 motherboard. You should be able to use your current RAM.

I know this was years ago but I am in the same shoes as the guy making this thread (I have the exact computer.) Anyways would you be able to link a new "socket 1150 motherboard" that is compatible with the system?

 

[Wolfshadw]

You'd probably want to start a new thread, so you get more answers and/or different ideas. You would also probably be looking for socket 1151 motherboards as they're newer.
