making my computer better for games

[kevin_45]

What parts do you think i need for my pc that could make it run games better? Here's my pc: AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series graphics card, a AMD_Athlontm X4 760K Quad Core Processor, 4gbs of ram and if you need to know anything else just ask. Not too good with the computer building stuff. Thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome to Tom's forum.

What exactly model of GPU are you running? Because that is an APU mode and for get better performance in games you need a dedicated GPU and expand your RAM with 4GB more.

Hey saint, the exact model is XFX Radeon HD 7850 1GB Core Edition, for some reason on my pc it only came up as AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series and i had to find out what it was through the website i purchased it from. What gpu would you recommend?

Ok.


You see 7800 because the driver show the "family" model and not the exact model.

You could change the GPU for a new one, GTX 970 or R280x maybe. Remember add the 4GB RAM additional, that can help you a lot.
