[Drougals]

I am looking to upgrade my graphics card for my Desktop and could use some advice on what is good and what is compatible, and anything else that may need improved price range is at £150

Current specs are:

CPU: intel(R)Core(TM)i3-2130 CPU @ 3.40Ghz 3.40 Ghz
Ram: 6GB
Tower Model: HP Pavilion p6 series
Motherboard: AMI 8.09
GPU: IntelR HD
Power SU: 103 watts

[update] Budget: £150

I'm not looking for anything top of the range just an improvement to add a few more game options.

You MUST buy better PSU atleast, that's what i can tell you now. Something like 500W- 450w 80+ bronze.

Graphics card: radeon 7790

Something like this I think. 550w PSU gives you ability to upgrade in the future and overclock your GPU.

I'm glad I could help. Remember, that 2gb version of this card is better than 1gb version, don't buy weaker one by mistake. You should also consider upgrading your motherboard and CPU when your wallet will allow you.
