I've been wanting to start computer gaming on my PC for a while now, but when I started my research, I was completely new at it. I have a better idea of what I might want (a new graphics card) but I'm not sure if I'd be able to use it properly with my current PC:
HP Pavilion a1612n
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+
2.20 GHz, 2.93 GB of RAM (upgraded from 980 MB)
Power Source: 300W Max
GeForce 6150LE
DirectX 9.0c
Windows XP Professional
(Apologies if I missed anything, just tell me if I did)
I have a pretty tight budget, $100 or so, so I was thinking of investing in an AMD Radeon HD 6750 (or something similar).
I'd like to be able to play games such as Mass Effect and Skyrim (typical haha), but I'm not picky about graphics, so low settings would suffice.
Sorry if I'm asking for something ridiculous... still pretty new to this O:
Any advice?
