So i recently got the HP ENVY h8-1534.
I'm pretty happy with it, runs the games i want to play etc.
But i was hoping to Upgrade Maybe the graphics card?
Also maybe the processor? I would like to know your opinions since i don't have much experience!
It has an Eyefinity Radeon HD 7570 Witch from a little research i read it was on the low end. So i'm hoping to fine one for about 100~150$?
Any Advice would Be great!


Ps.
Will buying per say a 120Hz Monitor Effect my Fps/Gameplay at all? Compared to my 60Hz i have now?

Thank you so much!

Well, the best graphics card you can get without changing your PSU only this SAPPHIRE 100357LP Radeon HD 7750 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Video Card for $110.

Even though your PSU states 460W, but when we take efficiency into account, I doubt it can produce that much power when a more power hungry card is installed. That PSU also did not have 80 Plus certification.

If you add $20 more, you can get this components for $170.

About that monitor, 120 Hz monitors are mostly beneficial to FPS gamer or hardcore gamer. For average one, 60 Hz is enough. In my personal opinion, I'd rather take a 60 Hz IPS monitor than 120 Hz TN monitor. IPS is better in all aspect than TN except response time.

Edit: Oh, you're asking about frames per second, well the maximum frames for 60 Hz is 60 FPS and the 120 Hz is 120 FPS. Either card that I reccommended can not get to 120 FPS in high settings anyway.
