Upgrade Graphic Card question

Dumpolicious · Jul 18, 2015

Hey guys, I was wondering if I can upgrade my AMD Radeon r7 240 to the Radeon HD 5450? I followed some Youtuber's video for a 300$ budget PC build and almost instantly regretted buying this shitty card, and I figured it was time to upgrade. Does anyone know? And If so, how complex will it be to replace the 240 with the new one? (Besides the physical swap, I know how to do that). Thanks.

Are you buying it?

No, I'm holding off on buying it until I know for sure I can upgrade to it.

I'm also a little concerned that I did something wrong in building it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgyI8bfrYt4
I followed these instructions and this PC is supposed to be pretty good, but I can't even run World of Warcraft without getting 3 FPS in raid scenarios, and I'm getting worried that I did something wrong.

What resolution are you playong at

corndog1836 · Jul 22, 2015

In the video you linked me too he is saying medium settings at 720p....

corndog1836 :

Yet I still can't play at that. And I'm playing at 1440x900, since i'm still using my older monitor.

I'd just like to know if there will be any complications upgrading my GPU how I said earlier.

I am assuming you are upgrading to the r7 240 from the hd 5450 right. Casue the r7 240 is way better
