Hi

You NEED a MUCH better graphics card unless by games you mean Freecell... that one is bottom of the range ,rubbish...

All the best Brett

Thank you for your kind opinion. By the way_ Which graphics card would you recommend?
I would like to play games such as Crysis series, Assasin's creed, DotA 2 etc.

Hi

I own computer shops that build gaming machines...

There is only one trick to buying a graphics card....spend at LEAST 33% of your total budget on the card...

My own card is a 7990 which cost £760 ....

The more you spend the better you will game...

All the best Brett

you don't need a psu with that high wattage for that rig but if you are
going to change your gpu then go for HD7850 or HD7870 then don't
change the psu.
