You're not going to get 60fps on any AAA title with a GT640. You might want to upgrade to a GTX 760. Make sure you have at least a 500W PSU.

640 is not a gaming video. Casual gaming at most. If the GPU memory is DDR3 (which is quite common) is additionally lowers the performance.
If you play in FullHD - lower the resolution and image quality for better behavior.
As for a "gaming" card on a budget 660 is the minimum (personal opinion). 760 if you can afford it.
Check Tom's recommended video cards for most competitive cards of the month.
7850s were also good option, but seems like AMD prices have gone up recently, so it's no good deal.

I was thinking to buy the msi 760 or the asus not sure yet and my psu is exactly 500w my res is 1440:900 so the problem in my pc is the gpu ok but will my cpu shall be able to handle most of the games with gtx 760?

Ultra on a GT640 is not happening,it is not happing on a GTX760 either,maybe on a 770,not for battlefield 4 and those new titles anyway.If you lower your expectations [most games look perfectly fine on high] you'll enjoy your GTX760 if you upgrade to that.Otherwise,if eye candy is a must,pay for what you want.

770 i can afford only that one http://www.palit.biz/palit/vgapro.php?id=2210 but isnt that one better or i dunno i am not that deep in this things am new so is this one better http://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/b2120/msi-gtx-760-gaming-oc.html or the top one?

allanitomwesh · Feb 10, 2014

the palit is better,go with that.

Denis Stoikovski · Feb 10, 2014

Ok man thank soon as i got the money

allanitomwesh · Feb 10, 2014

No problem,just pick as best answer for others with a gt640.

Denis Stoikovski · Feb 10, 2014

http://versus.com/en/msi-geforce-gtx-760-oc-vs-palit-geforce-gtx-770-jetstream but this site shows that the 760 is better hm

Nah dude am not fan of amd

allanitomwesh · Feb 10, 2014

Better at being less powerful,lol.Is that how you chose your gt 640? Look at the points it wins in,narrower?Low power consumption? These should be obvious pointers.

Denis Stoikovski · Feb 10, 2014

Actualy i didnt chose that crappy card i buyed an Acer predator g3620

and now am suffering with it but i didnt have the choice i mean i cant afford to buy the parts at one so i go on leasing i tough that the gpu is not that bad the cpu is good i think am not sure am new in this thing so i tough the i5 is pretty nice and 8 ram is just great soo thats my story

allanitomwesh · Feb 10, 2014

Prebuilts never have good gpu's unless it is an alienware or something.Just enough to run a couple chrome tabs you know. The CPU is good,all you need is to change the GPU.

Denis Stoikovski · Feb 10, 2014

I was hoping someone to say that gosh but if i buy the gtx 770 pailt il need to change the mobo and the psu and im not sure will this gpu fit in my case

allanitomwesh · Feb 10, 2014

You can measure,all you need is 11 inches at least,so an 11.5 you can get it in there.Mobo doesn't need a swap,it has a gpu slot,but the psu is likely,but that i'd swap anyway,prebuilts come with crappy ones always.

Denis Stoikovski · Feb 10, 2014

No i think i need to swap the mobo cuz some guys said they cant put gtx 760 in it cuz the bios dont support it or something like it https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/607957/geforce-700-600-series/gtx-760-and-acer-predator-no-boot-no-bios-problem-/ if you have the time to read this

allanitomwesh · Feb 10, 2014

Wow,that's a curve ball,how could Acer be so sloppy?

Denis Stoikovski · Feb 10, 2014

So i need to change the mobo and the psu right? btw the case is 14.37 inches

allanitomwesh · Feb 10, 2014

I'd say change the PSU,try windows 8 as a solution,THEN change the mobo if that does not work.

Denis Stoikovski · Feb 10, 2014

Il try anything thank man you were in a lot of help!I appreciate it
