I want to be able to do some casual gaming with my Acer. The CPU is great, an 8 core 17. However, the graphics "card" it came with was an Intel 600. It also has a measly 300 watt power supply.

Is it better to buy a cheaper graphics card (and if so, what you would recommend), or a better one such as an Nvidia 1070, and replace the power supply? I'm on a limited budget and my son wants to use it to play games. However, he told me none of his games will run on this machine.

Thanks!

If you want to install a graphic card that run all type of games in high settings then i recommended you to buy a GTX 1060 it cost you around 370 $ but if you want a graphic card for playing games in low or medium setting then i recommended you to buy a GTX 1050 Ti it cost you around 200$ . And for PSU i recommended you to buy Corsair VS650 650 Watt Power Supply Unit or Cooler Master Power Supply B600 600 Watts PSU. Both are good and each cost you around 80$

A 1050 or 1050ti would work fine with that PSU. However, the card to best fit your needs depends on what resolution you want to game on.

If you have a 1080p monitor then the 1050ti would suit you well for medium-high settings in games. A GTX 1060 (3 or 6 GB) would be the best for 1080p along with an RX 570.

For anything higher, a GTX 1070 would be advised. Keep in mind that you will need to swap out your PSU for a higher wattage and better rated unit. Nvidia recommends a 500 watt unit for the 1060 and 1070.

I use a GTX 1060 and paired it with a 650 watt 80+ Gold PSU and that’s more than enough power.
