Hello people I'm about to purchase a new GPU so im hoping you guys can give me some input on the compatibility between components I currently have. Ive been running an ati radeon hd 4350 and I remember it was a struggle running anything higher than the lowest of the low settings so im looking to change that, as well as running other programs smoothly. Not planning on getting a powerhouse video card right now, maybe sometime in the future. I apologize if the brand models for some parts arent all there, I dont have access to my tower atm so ill just give the best information as best I can recall. Please let me know if some of these components will not function together, specially that GPU im planning on buying.
Case: Mid Tower ATX (HP e9120y: proprietary?)
