Do I need an upgrade?

[SkyDieRay]

Hi, I am wondering if I need to upgrade anything in my PC or is there another problem with it. I am asking this because I haven't been able to play newer games even on lowest setting (ex: Far Cry 4), and I am looking forward to playing GTA V when it'll be out, so this might be a problem

Here is the report from CPU-Z.

The link that you go to if you click on "here".
Isn't that good?

 

[dark_globe]

no , it only tells me that your processor is not the problem ,
so you must be using either integrated or some weak dedicated graphics card ,
it will also help a lot to know what power supply do you have .

Well you could have just typed it out.

i7-2600
Nvidia GTS 450
2x4GB Kingston 1333

To get better gaming performance you need a better video card. You will need to list a budget. And we will need information about the power supply.

About the power supply, I'm not sure how to find it.

it is good enough, but usually when asking for help you should pull out all the relevant information for people who don't want to search for it.

i7-2600 @3.4GHz
asrock h61icafe
2x4GB DDR3-1333
GTS 450

it does not list your monitor resolution, well need to know that as well. definitely going to need a new gpu for newer games. whats your budget?

 

[Eximo]

You'll have to open the computer and look for the power supply's label. Should have a chart of voltages, amps, and wattage outputs.

Monitor resolution is 1920x1280.
And the budget, not exactly sure, but if it could be around 100$ or even less it would be nice.

Never mind then, GTX750 it is:

why never mind?
Also, thanks for the advice, I'll check some reviews

because it´s very power efficient video card .
it doesn´t require any additional power from your power supply ,
just from pcie express slot on your motherboard.

but if i were you i would stretch my budget and buy something more powerfull for gaming at 1080p .

and what graphic card would you recomend for gaming at 1080p?

 

[dark_globe]

your processor is capable to feed just about any video card
so it depends how much are you willing to spend
and on the quality of your power supply as well ,
unplug your computer from power , open your case and have a look at it .

after opening it i found that it's this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/PSU-400W-Chieftec-APS-400S-A-135/dp/B001J4RZYA

 

[dark_globe]

it could have been worse .
that being said you should replace it anyway .
XFX 550w bronze can be find for cheap and it will allow you to use much better video card in your system

 

[SkyDieRay]

ok ok, but what graphic card to chose?

 

[dark_globe]

once again it depends on how much are you willing to invest .
assuming you will replace your psu :
270x is the starting point .
better yet if you could buy 280/280x .

 

[SkyDieRay]

Do I have any choices left if I keep this psu?

 

[TofuLion]

the gtx 750 will get you playing newer games at least, but you'll have low graphic settings. if you get anything better than that, you'll want to upgrade your psu as well.

this would be recommended for a good experience at a (relatively) lower price
