I've been looking for a nice PC to enter PC gaming with, and hp is doing a nice Presidents day weekend sale. This is what I have so far. I've just started learning about the basics of PC hardware so bear with me:
Windows 8.1 64
4th Generation Intel® Core™ i5-4430 processor quad-core [3.0GHz, 6MB Shared Cache]
2GB AMD Radeon R7 240 [DVI, HDMI, & DVI to VGA Dongle]
6GB DDR3-1600MHz [2 DIMM ]
1TB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive
(This is $693 including my monitor)
The R7 240 is the best card I can get with Hp, but I just found out that Nvidia released a new entry level card that would be perfect with what I'm trying to do: Nvidia GTX 750 Ti
So what I'm thinking is to replace that R7 240 with integrated graphics shaving off $100 and purchasing the Nvidia GTX 750 Ti as it appears that will give me the performance I need for the money I'm willing to spend. So my final plan would be to buy this rig through HP and disable the intergrated graphics and place in my GTX 750 Ti.
This is all really new to me so if anyone could explain to me if this would work in simple terms that would be awesome. I guess my main question is if this the best decision I can make or will this card fry my whole system. Thanks in advance
