My father recently purchased a Dell Studio XPS 8100 for me to upgrade from a *insert 6 year old Emechines PC model here*. Needless to say, it a rather large upgrade and I'm eternally grateful to him. *Don't worry...I have to pay him back in full >_>*
Anyways, here's the specs and you'll know what's up and why I am here.
CPU Intel Core i5 750 2.66 Ghz
Memory 8gb Dual Channel DDR3 at 1333 mhz
Hard Drive 1TB 7200RPM SATA
Operating System Windows 7 64 Bit
Graphics Card Nvidia G310 512 DDR3
Power Supply 350w
There's a DVD drive in there too but I believe these are the main specs of the PC. Here is my problem, I enjoy a bit of PC gaming, mostly older stuff but sometimes I pop in Dragon Age or Aion, or some other stuff. Nothing extreme.
I'm looking to up the graphics card first to get the PC up and running well. I know it won't max out anything new the way it is and with that power supply but I am okay with that.
I have skimmed the other topics here but could not find a user with a similar PC to the one I am getting.
Let me let you in on what I am "gaming" on now....
CPU P4 3. *something* Ghz
Memory 2GB DDR2
Graphics Card Nvidia 9400 gt 1gb DDR3
Power Supply 300w
So, all in all, I'm looking for a decent graphics card that is better than the G310 and the 9400 GT that can run on a 350w power supply, alongside a i5 750 and 8gb of DDR3 ram.
C'mon....shouldn't be that hard XD
Thanks for any replies!
