I have powerful pc but still I cant run games on better quality

Dejan387 · Mar 26, 2014

Recently I've bought new PC and it's supposed to be good, but I can't run games on better quality, Even if i run games on low graphics,they sometimes crash or lag a lot.Sometimes when I'm watching videos on youtube or googling something, it just freezes and sometimes I have to restart the PC.

My hardware:
CPU: AMD FX 8350 Eight Core Black Edition Vishera
GPU: MSI NVidia GT 630 2 GB DDR3
Motherboard: ASUS M5A78L-M LX , Socket AM3+
RAM: Transcend 4GB DDR 3 1333 MHz
HDD: 500 GB Sata II Seagate/WD

Sorry to break it to you, but the GT 630 is not meant for gaming.

Eduello :

^ that. May be hard to hear...but your system is not meant to game.

Eduello · Mar 26, 2014

senkasaw :

Well the CPU is good and 4 GB of ram should be able to handle most games.

senkasaw · Mar 26, 2014

Eduello :

Yeah that's true. Maybe "system" was the wrong word

Regardless, a gpu upgrade would help a lot. But if it is a prebuilt system, a PSU upgrade would likely be needed as well.

Agree that card is not a stellar gamer but the crashing and lagging sounds like overheating or some other hardware or driver issue. Check your temps and use latest drivers.

Better gpu and def 4gb more ram.

Dejan387 · Mar 26, 2014

Thanks guys for help. I'm quite shocked... and pissed on seller.

Dejan387 · Mar 26, 2014

Btw any suggestions for a new gpu?

senkasaw · Mar 26, 2014

yeah, marketing for prebuilt machines is horrible.

What is your budget like? Also, we will need to know what kind of power supply you have...may need to upgrade that too.

Dejan387 · Mar 26, 2014

Power supply: blueberry psb520 520w(is that enough?)
and budget si about 150$

Dejan387 · Mar 26, 2014

I maybe able to raise the budget up to 200-250$ so hit me with best you've got

and can I put ddr5 gpu into this mothetboard?

senkasaw · Mar 26, 2014

for around $150 I would get a gtx 660
for $250 a gtx 760

Tom's has good recommendations here: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107.html

The 760 might be has powerful as you can go with that power supply.

Edit: Also, good amd options would be a r9 270 ($200) or r7 260x ($140-$150)
