I am trying to upgrade my small form factor pc its a Acer Aspire AX1420G-U5832 , I fell into some money troubles so i dont have much to work with i got this computer because of its Cpu which is a Athlon X4 645 but as a noob i did not notice the graphics i would be getting which is terrible and integrated . I've done some research and am under the impression that all i can do is upgrade my case ,psu and gpu as i purchased the computer for gaming which obviously it cant do i need help , i dont know how to go about getting a new case because i dont know how to tell if the Mid Tower cases im looking at support a Small form factor motherboard and i know nothing about graphics cards so can anyone recommend any cases and graphics cards . Keep in mind i only have $200 to work with possibly $250 . Im looking to play games like Black Ops 2 , Final Fantasy Games , pretty much games that are graphical .. Thanks in advance for all your help
 
Solution
the case take both mini and standard atx mb. the power supply give you some over head if you want a faster gpu or switch out the mb and cpu at a latter time. another case is the r300 case if you want more room.
