[chrislangley4253]

Hey, this thing has a terrible 250 watt power supply and integrated graphics. Do you guys know of anything i can do to remedy this? I mean, it can't even play CSS or TF2. Thanks in advance,
Chris

How do you feel this would bump up functionality? What do you think i could run with these two upgrades?

Both suggestions by ct1615 are excellent, either will give you substantially better performance.

im using a dell inspiron 530s with the same 250w power supply and a HD5570. the 250w power supply has 17 amps on the 12v rail compared to the combined 21 amps on the 12v rails of the 300w seasonic.
