hi I don't really know much about computers so i was wondering if anyone knows what the best steps to take to make my pc game a bit better, i.e. play simulation games like euro truck simulator 2 with a decent frame rate. looking to run dual graphics or possibly have to update my power supply. Thanks :)

youre gonna have to upgrade a few things, you have an apu and you aint gonna run 2 gpus off of that without severe bottleneck, ram is close to 8 so not an issue, power supply is wayyyyyyy too low for any decent gpu.

if i was you id upgrade your psu to say a decent but cheap one like an evga 500b or an XFX XT 500W 80+ Bronze, then get a gtx 750ti, this should do you without breaking the bank.

it wont touch 500 watts but having a psu thats got headroom is always a better choice.

have you got a budget in mind?
