Hello the long and short of it is me and some mates got to try out The Elder Scrolls Online BETA and it ran pretty well on my pc in a mixture of medium to high settings however i was wondering if i could upgrade my card for something a bit more powerful just so i know it will be fine when the game come out.

My PC is old now around 5 years old infact the spec is:

Intel Core 2 Quad 2.5Ghz
4GB Ram
Windows 8 Pro
750GB HDD
Radeon HD 5670 1GB
500W PSU i think

Not really sure if i could get something better just to stick in there i know some will say i should upgrade my entire PC but that's not a option at the moment.

If you wanna get a new AMD GPU then the R9 280/x may look attractive, if you wanna try nVidia then the GTX 760 would be a nice choice. I do have so suggestions if I may, I guess the CPU can handle the graphics card, but id still suggest a new mobo and a new CPU. Also you may wanna get new ram to 8 GB so it will last you another 6 years, considering that battlefield 4 already requires 4 gb of ram to run. Your psu may not be able to handle everything. Even though it may be 500w, the natural degration will cause your PSU to loose its capacity, so maybe qhen your going to the store, maybe add a few things, but the others should be able to stay, and sorry if this is really long.
