I have an HP Compaq 6005 Pro Small Form Factor desktop PC. It's super fast and is perfect for what I use it for. But recently I got into video editing, YouTube, AND gaming. My GPU isn't powerful enough, as long as my power supply. I found an actual gaming desktop with AMD Phenom 3.1 processor (slower than the one i have now) and GTI 1050 GPU. I'm wondering if I should spend $600 on that, or upgrade mine for possibly less. YES THIS IS A SLIM TOWER PC BUT I WILL MODIFY IF NEEDED.
Here are my specs:
-AMD Phenom II X2 B59 3.40GHz CPU
-ATI Radeon HD 4200 GPU (I want to upgrade)
-240WATT Power Supply (I want to upgrade)
-8GB DDR3 RAM (16GB max, 4 slots) (I want to upgrade)
-AMD 785G Chipset
-SATA 2 - 3Gb/s 2TB Hard Drive (Only 8% used) along with 2 small SDD's (10GB)
I'm also using an HP Pavilion(?) 22cwa LED backlit 1080p monitor.
I was told if I were to get a graphics card it would have to be a "slim card". But I'd also like to know if it's possible to fit a regular card in there, obviously with keeping the side lid off or even just modifying the lid so the card can fit.
Thanks!
