ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Hello, this is my first time here, I am wondering if i should invest in a graphics card. I don't know much about building a computer so any help would be appreciated. Right now, i am able to play games at around 20 fps. I was wondering if buying a graphics card could help boost it to around 30, or if it wouldn't do much to help my fps and performance.

Thanks

Your best option without changing your power supply would be the AMD 7750 or 7770.

i get the feeling there may be a bottle neck if you buy one of the latest gpus, but i dont know much about that processor/mobo someone else maybe be able to shed light on that. but a budget of 300 is more then enough to buy something perfect for that set up

I was thinking about one of AMD's 6000 series, but i noticed my power supply is 100W short of the lowest one. Would that be a problem?

I was thinking of buying

Thermaltake TR2 W0070 430W Power Supply

Could you tell me if this would be able to power a better graphics card?

thanks

I just built a new budget system for my son that was $500. My point? Save up another $200 and use what parts you can (case, ram,dvd for example) and get yourself a new mother board, processor, power supply and video card. You could be into a 7770 easily for less than $500.

Not trying to be a jerk but, that system will never be a "real" gaming machine without serious upgrades.

If this isn't an option I'd recommend a good power supply (500w at least) and a decent card like a 7770.

Honestly though I'd seriously consider upgrading the entire system. I'd bet you could easily double or triple your system performance for very close to $300, certainly for $400.
