Hey guys, I bought a PC a few months back and at the time it was all i could afford, i regret not waiting a while as it seems to uprgade the pc, its going to take more than i thought.

The PC i bought is this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ULTRA-FAST-Quad-Core-8GB-1TB-Desktop-Gaming-PC-Computer-AMD-HD-/191025096255?pt=UK_Computing_DesktopPCs&hash=item2c79fba63f

I'm really not getting the level of performance that i had hoped for (Im not all that knowledgeable when it comes to computer >.< ) so i thought id give it an uprgrade. The problem is if i want to get another graphics card then im going to have to get another psu as the current one doesnt have any power cable to support a gpu (forgot the name of the specific cable). It seems i cant just upgrade one thing like i had hoped. So here i am, asking for help... I'd like to know the best way to bump it up so i can run things like DayZ standalone game pretty well...id like to get 60fps out of current games but not to keep up with games of the future..i just want something for now. Cheers

This setup will work fine, if you wanted to upgrade your CPU, you will have to get a motherboard that corresponds with the socket

Heres an updated part list

Hmm, looking inside my computer, and theres a problem..i was looking at the dimensions of the hd 7770 and i dont think it would fit. now its says that the gpu is 6cm high but that means it would be in the way of sata cable connections into the motherboard :/ what can i do ?

nope, the 7770 will bottleneck as it is, adding a beefier graphics card would not help performance
