And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: old prebuilt hp computer from 2010 is dying and can't keep up. Right now my computer is running AMD athlon IIx4 635 @ 2.9 and I have 4gb of ram. I don't need a psu or video card they were already updated, most games run at high with no issues but I'm guessing the ram and processor are bottlenecking the card; also having an issues with ram running at 95% during games and lagging it out. So new computer time!
