I'm currently seeking employment at the moment so I'm very short on cash, I no longer have an Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 as I converted to the PC I usually play stuff like Minecraft, Payday, All Points Bulletin, Grand Theft Auto IV so I bought a stock PC that had the basics and put in a Radeon HD 6670 2GB GDDR3 card. But now I'm getting into more graphically boasting games and my card just isn't cutting it anymore.
My specs are:
i5-2320 @ 3.00GHz
2x 4GB DDR3 RAM
1TB HDD
350w PSU (Stock, not sure what brand/make)
My PC is a Fujitsu model, the MoBo is very basic. One PCI slot, 2 RAM slots and no more. The PSU also has 3 sata power cables and the standard MoBo ones. In the future I will upgrade everything, but for now the only thing really holding me back is my GPU. I can pretty much max most games because I play at 1366x768 on a HD 720p 22" monitor.
So having a card that can max stuff in 1080p or higher is useless to me, I would like to purchase something though that's relatively cheap and will last me at least another year or two. Although I really need to upgrade my PSU to something decent like a 550w or even a 700w I'd prefer at the moment to upgrade my GPU first before anything else.
I have around £130 to spend so I was looking at buying a Radeon HD 7750 1GB GDDR5 card, it's low profile so it will work with my 350w PSU and it's only £80. I could probably find a decent PSU for £50 then (hopefully). But I was hoping someone might be able to point me at a better solution that will benefit me more?
