Upgraded with CPU/Motherboard bundle from TigerDirect;

CPU; AMD FX 8310 3.4GHz 8-Core, 95W...
MB; MSI 760GM-P23(FX) Micro-ATX, DDR3, SATA II....
Added HyperX Fury Black Series 8GB(2x4GB) DDR3 SDRAM...

I kept everything else.....but NOW I need a new video card! What are my restrictions with this setup? I want to avoid any bottlenecking, would hate to waste $500 or something and only be getting half the performance, Thanx!

Play a lot of StarCraft 2...which can be graphically demanding.

Size isn't an issue its in a larger case right meow. The THING that worries me is that my PCI Express Slot is only 2.x is that going to be any problems with graphics cards that are 3.0??

I would feel the card memory amount should not be a limiting factor [unless you find its not enough ] - so no , as we said if you can get the 4gb card for a few bucks more then the 2gb then I would go with the more memory every time

I mean 210 for a 2gb card and 230 for the 4gb ?? I would kick up that extra 20 bucks and get the 4gb

a little better deal after rebate here ??
