Hi guys, i have a Asus - Desktop - 8GB Memory - 1TB Hard Drive with the GPU of AMD HD 8350 (intergrated). I went to game stop today and bought Assassin's creed : Black Flag and realized that i cant run the game smoothly. I probably can't return it since i have opened the box and activated the code. Is my computer capable of installing an actual graphics card. If so, what card should i get?

Those specs say you have a PCI-e slot.

Well how much do you want to spend?

The R7-250 starts@ $75

It will need the 500watt, as it requires at least a 400watt.

With that 500watt, you can go up to a $200 to $250 card.

Dare I ask the Brand of the 500watt???


Before we are done you will have to open the case.
We need to know if there is enough room around the slot.
I'm pretty sure the R7-250 won't be a problem, but we have to check, especially if you go for more expensive graphics card.

More expensive also means bigger.
