Computer Help Needed!:(

[Jabboar]

My computer doesn't run games as smoothly as I think it should, it has 0 viruses and is clean however my games are just slow!
My pc specs are:

Manufacture: Zoostorm
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2320 CPU @ 3.00Ghz 330Ghz
Installed memory (RAM) 8.00gb

My graphics card is Nvidia GT 520

Is it my graphics card that is poor?

 

[symsus]

Yes that graphics card is fairly old to run modern games.

 

[tinmann]

Yes you are correct in that assumption. Your graphic card is not a gaming card. It's a internet browsing kind of card. It may be good for games at the lowest setting but even then it will be struggling. It also depends on the games you play. BF3 or 4, Cod Ghost or Mw3, Assassins Creed or Batman...No.

 

[Jabboar]

Could I get a suggestion on which graphics card would be perfect for me to play games at medium settings running it SMOOTHLY?

 

[Scremin34Egl]

Yes, your graphics card is poor. Look for something at least like a 7750 or if your power supply is a 450W or greater with a 6 pin connector, 7770/7790

What power supply do you have?, and budget?

 

[Jabboar]

I'll need to take my computer apart to find out my power supply, so I'll be back shortly, thanks for the help

 

[Jabboar]

So my power supply said AC 230, I'm guessing that's bad? Then it said 'Total 300'

Yeah, that's generic no name brand psu, my advice, get rid of it

If you have a budget, feel free to state it, and I can maybe suggest a psu and a graphics card

 

[Jabboar]

Sadly, my budget is very small.. £90

Their may be a possibility that you can run a 7750 of your 300W psu but I wouldn't recommend it as the minimum is 400W and yours is a generic so it might not give you the full 300W. If it wasn't for your psu, you would have probably gotten yourself a 7790 which is much better than the 7750/7770

Rather save up for something like this

Thank you so very much, picked as solution! I'll start saving for the second option, is the Asus Radeon HD 7790 1GB Video Card definitely compatible with my computer?

Yes most definitely, and you have a nice i5 processor with 8gb ram
