I purchased this computer last year since I lacked the confidence at the time to attempt a PC build on my own.
HP Pavilion HPE h8-1234
I regret that I didn't do more research on what I was throwing my cash at, but at this point I'm simply hoping to build on what I have.
The HP has a pretty underwhelming graphics card which is the first thing I'll be replacing. Along with that, the 300W PSU will be going as well. Finally, I think I might be needing a new case, since I'm trying to squeeze a pretty large graphics card into a mid-size ATX. This is what I'm thinking:
Graphics card: Gigabyte Radeon HD 7870
PSU: CORSAIR Builder Series CX600 600W
I'm unsure what to do about the case. Currently looking at this one:
COOLER MASTER HAF 932
I'm not trying to spend a ton of money but I do want a system capable of running Skyrim, FFXIV, Tomb Raider, etc.. at fairly high settings. Thanks for any advice you can give me, (particularly on the case issue) I really appreciate it!
