Hello, everybody. I needed a little advice on an upgrade I want to do for my PC. I have a HP Pavilion 500-039 which has the A8-6500 APU setup. CPU wise this PC has played everything I throw at it so far. However, the integrated GPU is what's killing me. I've been able to run GTA IV (Low level resolution at 45+ FPS) and Arma II with DayZ. I'm wanting to up my system a little bit more so I can expand upon my gaming range as well get more graphical settings from my games.
My whole setup can be seen here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03823932&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en#N1323
I was thinking of upgrading to a Radeon HD 7770 1GB DDR5 card. I can get it for $89.99 right now on newegg. However to do that I'll need to upgrade my power supply. I've also noticed my RAM memory tops out quite often even though it's specified at 4 GB. It only can use 3.19 GBs of RAM. So should I get this card or different one? Essentially I just need advice on a GPU, PSU, and possibly memory upgrade if you think I may need one. Looking to spend around $90-$120 for a GPU, and $50-80 for a PSU, and then I'll find the RAM my own if I need to.
Thanks in advance!
