Need advice on plan to upgrade a pre built computer

Agent8018 · Sep 12, 2014

Hiya! I'm hoping to buy a cheaper computer and upgrade the graphics so that I can play more games. The computer in question is here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D1KX2R4/ref=twister_B00D5OWOTS
And I'm hoping to upgrade to gpu to this:

Can someone more knowledgeable then let me know if anything is wrong with my plan? Thanks!
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I'm in canada.

try go for hd 7750 or hd 7790 and also upgrade your processor

rate mine as best answer if you liked it

Sanjay Srivastava :

Can you give me your opinion on the GPU I linked? Cause it seems to have 2gbs of gddr5 where the hd 7770 has 1 gb of gddr5 for the same price

Agent8018 :

what is your budget for the upgrade ?
your pc comes with a crappy stock PSU so any power hungry card can damage the PSU so its better you upgrade to a better PSu or get the gtx 750 (better than r7 250) its very low on power consumption

So I suppose my budget is around 700 dollars

for 700 dollars you can have a much better pc but do you include the OS,keyboard mouse ,monitor with the 700$ ?

The thing is I'm not ready to build my own PC. The most I'm willing to do is maybe replace a part or two, such as the GPU in my original post

Wow! Thanks for taking time to make a build for me, but thing is I don't want to build my own PC. I'm willing to replace a couple of parts but that's all I want to do. Another thing is I'm in canada and therefore don't have access to a micro center and have to buy my things online

Alright, I'll consider it. Thanks for your time!

well the prices of CANADA are different so as i said earlier either get a decent 450 - 500 watt PSU 80+ certified and get a r9 270 or get a gtx 750 ti .
