Casual gamer but starting to notice that my stock hpe 300z can't run the settings I really want. Currently playing DX human revolution, DA 1+2, several of the total war series (I want larger army sizes!).
Radeon HD5570
300W stock PSU
Phenom 830
6 gig RAM
Res 1920x1080
From what I've read it sounds like I need to upgrade the power supply if I want to put in a better graphics card. Budget is not an issue but I want to keep the installation as simple as possible.
Am I on the right track looking at these:
CORSAIR Gaming Series GS500 500W ATX12V / EPS12V 80 PLUS Certified High Performance Gaming Power Supply
SAPPHIRE 100315L Radeon HD 6850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity
Suggestions? Any compatibility issues I'm missing?
