Hi
I have a Dell Optiplex 740 Desktop Version. I have tried some gaming on it but I couldn't do anything so I threw in some old stuff that I had. I upgraded the RAM from 2gb to 4gb and installed a Nvidia 8400GS rev. 4 gfx card (I had to physically saw off a part of the case for it to fit). Now, I'm very tight on budget but I wanted to upgrade the gfx card and maybe later the CPU (Current CPU: AMD Athlon Dual core 4450B @ 2.30 GHz). I found a deal on a Asus gt 730 2gb but I'm not sure about my PSU, the requirements for the gt730 are min. 300W and it uses up to 23W and my PSU is 280W BUT the 8400gs requires a 300W and uses up to 40W and I'm fine using it. I can only play League of Legends on my PC with 45-25 fps on very low settings.
Also, will I be able to (at some point) put a Quad core CPU and 8gb RAM in it?
I would be grateful if someone could help me.
