This is my computer I had for a while: Link
I know it would've been better to just custom build one, but I figured it was a good computer for the price. I'm not very familiar with compatibility and I wanted to upgrade a couple parts. The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2.
Would it be a good idea to get a 7870 or what graphics card is recommended without bottlenecking too much ($200 budget)
Should I upgrade the PSU (500w)
Is an i5 processor compatible with my mobo
Unrelated: is thermal paste or a thermal pad recommended?
Is there anything you guys would recommend I upgrade/change (I already have better peripherals)
I don't overclock anything
I have a Kingston Hyperx 120g ssd
Thanks!
