I want to upgrade my graphic card due to not being able to play a game called rust with over 5 fps. I barely can play and its hard to shoot people and I want myself to get better fps on games so I can play it smoothly with no problems. I have the money to buy the graphic card but I don't know what kind I would buy so I don't have to change my processor or ram but I can still play games like rust smoothly. If I do need to get better processor and ram to run games like this please tell me. Here are my specs:
Installed Memory (RAM): 4.00 gb
Processor: Intel (R) Pentium (R) CPU G360 @ 2.70 GHz 2.70 Ghz
Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard Company
Model: p6-2103w
System Type: 64 bit operating system
Graphic card: Intel (R) HD Graphics
Total Memory: 1696 MB
Monitor: HP 2011 Series Wide LCD Monitor
Display Mode: 1600 x 900 (32 bit) (60 Hz)
 
Here's your problem!
Graphic card: Intel (R) HD Graphics

The intel integrated graphics are meant for basic tasks and multimedia, they are not meant for gaming. If you throw a real graphics card in there you will get significantly better performance out of games. Your CPU may be holding you back some, but your biggest issue right now is the lack of a real GPU

Well I have around 250 but I would like to spend 150 or less (USD)
 


For all parts or per item?

Lets just say I want good items, but its not like I want a total gaming computer where I can play battlefield 4 at great fps, etc. And 250 for all parts.

This looks more on a reasonable scale for me, but would the 8 gb of ram be added to the 4 gb I already have or are they different types where they can't be added together? Sorry I am not that smart with the design of computers and how they are built.

 


You can add second 4GB RAM stick to your current RAM stick, just tell me your RAM model and specs (voltages, frequency etc.) or link your RAM
