Should I buy a new graphics card?

Jordan_C · Jun 26, 2014

I will be buying a new pc soon its the Acer Aspire XC100.

AMD E1-2500
1.7Ghz
4gb ram
1tb hard-drive
AMD Radeon HD 7310

I understand its not going to be an outstanding pc but I was wondering to be able to use it for some gaming should I replace the graphics card. I was thinking maybe something like the geforce gtx 750. I want to be able to play games like Battlefield, at a decent quality.

Would this be a good idea?
Any other graphics cards that would be better around $150?

thanks.

The problem with that is that the case is low profile. What is your budget for the pc.

The problem is thats its my dad buying it and he just wants something to buy from a store and isnt intrested in building or searching around. Is there anyway to upgrade the graphics card?

You can get the 750TI, it runs off motherboard power. All you need to do is take out the old card and plug this one in!

EVGA 750ti $130 after rebate ($140 originally) with free shipping...

No that's not correct because of the case requirements. How much do you have to spend on the computer instore, we can find you a better deal.

So could I fit this card into the pc, just by replacing the old one And also does newegg do Australia shipping?

Is this the same card seems much cheaper and from Aus.

No. No, No.

It is a small form factor case.
Also it has a 220w power supply, you need at least 300w to run the 750 well.

Jordan_C :

I would see what power supply comes with it. That chip is used a lot in note books and the power supply may not handle much of an upgrade. Hit www.notebookcheck.net. to check it out. It's nice dad is getting it for you but ask him to save his money and get you a better one for Christmas.

220 watt power supply. Not a good computer, don't buy it. You can't get a 750 to work efficiently in that computer.

Jordan_C · Jun 26, 2014

Thanks, dads not buying it for me its for him but he said I can use it for gaming as it will be connected through ethernet as our internet is bad.

Is there any other cards that would fit and would give me enough performance for the price?

schau314 · Jun 26, 2014

No, is your dad dead set on buying this one. What is his budget under 400. You can get some good deals for that.

Jordan_C · Jun 26, 2014

Well I think so but if you could find me some good deals I would probably be able to convince him.

So anything around $500 aud
And aus delivery

Thanks
