Hi I'm kinda new to graphic cards and I was wondering what I needed to know if i wanted to upgrade my graphics card. I also want to know which graphics card you would recommend to play BF4 on medium / high.

My specs:

6GB RAM
DPS-600WB A ( I don't know how much Watts)
Intel Core i7-2600
GTX 550 Ti
Heres a link:http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03018247#N154

Thanks for your help !

A GTX 660ti can play BF4 on ultra at around 50fps. Anything above that will get you over 60fps. The newest Nvidia cards (gtx 970, gtx 980) will be your best bet for future gaming. You also should get at least 8gb of ram in your system for better performance. Your power supply is 600 watts.

Just remember, if you upgrade your computer, you need to know exactly what you're doing. Its not as simple as picking something and plugging it in.

Do I need to do anything with the airflow if I were to upgrade ?

If you want to upgrade airflow for any reason, just buy case fans that will fit in your case or get a PCI fan that sits next to your graphics card. Just remember. The bigger fans are usually better at moving air and they run quieter.
