Friend of mine has an inspiron 660 pre built system and started running into things he couldnt preformance issues so he decided he wanted to upgrade his GPU and RAM.
So the questions:
I have recently heard of some BIOS conflicts with modern cards on pre built machines, Do you think a GTX 950 will create more problems than its worth?
Looking at the specs we need to upgrade the PSU but is there standard sizing for PSUs? Mostly a will it fit question!
Rams not too pricey but it would help to know if we can upgrade buying a second stick of ram rather than replacing the old ram all together?
Finally I guess any suggestions of alternative options?
Current Specs:
OS: 64-bit Windows 8.1
Processor: Intel Core i5-3330
Motherboard:Unknown (Bios is A09)
Memory: 4GB RAM 1600Mhz Unknown brand
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 620
Hard Drive: Unknown
