Hi, a while back my old PC died, id had it for years, so i purchased a new pc, HP Pavilion Slimline s3726uk triple core.

i really love this pc, and im a huge noob when it comes to upgrading hardware, about the most i know is how to add more ram. (unfortunately i know this pc can only handle 4gb max)

now, id like to upgrade my graphics card, im a big gamer and i know these slimlines are not built to be a beast for gaming.

im not looking to spend silly amounts, as its almost christmas and my funds are low with buying presents, so im looking for something relatively low to medium priced that will help run my games better and perhaps let me run 1 or 2 that i currently cant.

the current gfx card is, i believe dedicated and not intergrated, nvidia gforce g100 (256mb)

also, the fan is really noisey all the time, from the second i turn it on, even when im not running any games etc... is there anything you suggest i can do to change this?

hmmm... that pc is really not meant for gaming. You only have a 230w psu, so you can't really put a better card in it. and besides 2.3 three cores and 4gigs of ram really isnt good for gaming. you only have 2.38 gigs usable too.
