Hey guys, I'm wondering if there are any recommended upgrades for my Acer Aspire TC-693 Budget is under $600 AUD.
System summary:
Windows 8 build 9200 (64-bit),
1 x Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz,
7.9GB RAM,
NVIDIA GeForce GT 635,
932GB HDD,
CD-RW/DVDRW,

i have no idea what the motherboard name. also i was looking at my computer summary somewhere in the motherboard section says PCI-E 2.0 x16 port #2 does that mean i have another port ? or is it completely different.

To check your PC's specifications, you could install this

http://www.passmark.com/products/bit.htm
It's actually a " stress-test " software, but you don't have to use that , just use it to see PC specs. What I like about this is that it gives a lot of info.

You could install the famous CPU-Z and GPU-Z too. There's nothing wrong with them, it's just that they don't show the full name for AMD cards.



I could recommend some parts if you tell me your budget and where you live

@IRONBATMAN well my budget would be under $1000 and i live in australia so yeah.
at the moment i use AIDA64 but it doesn't really show much, unless you want me to post the full report.

I don't think I would need you to tell me your full specs, because I can yell based on what you have mentioned.

Upgrading the PSU and GPU would definitely help improve games

Do you have any case fans ? If not, buying some would be good. The ones that come with the case are usually not very good.
