Hello everyone, this is my first experience posting to this site and it seems really helpful, so I thought I'd give it a shot; I'm not incredibly tech savvy but would love to learn and round out my computer, as I've been having some problems with it. First I'll list the different parts/specs I have:
Motherboard- http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/introduction.php?S_ID=454#memory
Power Supply- CX 430 Corsair
Video Card- EAH5450 Silent ASUS, also have an ATI Radeon HD 4600 series (which should/ can I use)
Processor- AMD Phenom II X2 550 Processor 3.10 GHz
RAM: 6.00 GB 64-bit Operating system, Windows 7
Seagate barracuda 7200 400gb is one of the hard drives, can't see the other one and computer is overheating too fast to check anything now.
Not sure what else to put for the specs, so on to the question.
What should I upgrade? I don't want it to be a high end gaming machine, just a solid computer that can handle gaming without crashing/overheating etc. I would like to spend less than ~200$ on fixing/upgrades for the build.
I've resolved most of the issues at this point, so now I'm looking to upgrade a bit. As for my gaming, right now it is mainly League of Legends and some others like the Total War series.
Would this video card be a good choice for this build or would there be any problems with implementing it? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130828&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=
Overall I'm looking for a stable and solid performance. Thanks in advance.
