Hello, lately I have having a few fps drops, mostly in LoL because its what I have been playing the most, i tried two different fps trouble shoot guides, but it seems the drops didn't disappear.

I used to have a steady 60 fps, but now it decreases for 25 or 30 at certain points of the game, too often, so I was wondering if buying a better graphics card would be of any help.

Here are my computer components:
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2100 CPU @ 3.10GHz
RAM: 3.5 GB
OS: Windows 7
Video Card: Intel(R) HD Graphics

So, should i buy a better graphics card? I have hear intel isn't such a good brand but I dont really know.

Thanks in advance!

Just over your budget but it will play games very well at your resolution , and is compatible with your motherboard

The graphics card fits in to the longest slot . Its the one at the top .

Turn off and disconnect the pc , take off the side panel of the case , , remove two of the covers from the back of the case , put the graphics card in and press down till it clicks .
Close up , reboot , run the driver disk that comes with the card .
Done .

Read a little about working on computers . Some components can be damaged by the static on your hands . That includes memory chips on the graphics card so only touch the back plate and the edges .
You probably need a screw driver to do...

Hello here are my:

Monitor resolution: 1366 x 768
Motherboard: P8H61- MLX
GPU: Intel HD Graphics 1000 GT1
Budget is around 70€ which translates to probably around 95 dollars.

If you need any more information regarding the computer components I can save a print of CPU-Z.

First off, let me thank you for your time, I really appreciate it!

Secondly, could you perhaps, give me advice on another graphic card, just in case I don't find this one?

Lastly, do you think buying a graphic card, for example the one you suggested, will greatly increase my gaming performance?

I usually set all games I play to the lowest graphic possible options, will I be able to set it as medium for example?
