Hello Tom's Hardware! This is my first post so forgive me if I made a mistake.
I recently used a computer with Intel HD 4000 graphics for my games (World of Tanks, Kerbal Space Program, Spintires, Minecraft). Unfortunately its Motherboard died and it no longer works. The computer I have now is a hand me down HP from my mom which has an ATI Radeon HD 4200. I don't know if my games will work on this thing, but based on reviews I have read it is pretty terrible. So I was looking at the Zotac GT630 Synergy Edition to upgrade to. My question is: Is the upgrade to the GT630 going to be an improvement over the current Graphics, or is there a better card within my budget ($60-$100) ?
Here are the system's specifications:
AMD Athlon II x4 635 2.9GHz
4GB DDR3 (Will be upgraded to 6, and potentially 8)
750gb 7200rpm HDD
250mw PSU (Will be upgraded to 400mw, 300 at the least)
1 PCI Express x16 port
3 PCI Express x1 ports
Microsoft Windows 7 64-Bit
Thank you very much for your help
