Hi,
I want to upgrade my graphics card so I can actually get on with some decent gaming.
Here are my CURRENT specs:
Compaq Presario Media Center SR1923WM Desktop PC, with w19 19" lcd wide-screen monitor (1440x900 res),
-CPU: Athlon 64 (V) 3500+ 2.2 GHz, *(2000 MT/s, Socket 939),
-Graphics Card: GeForce 6150 LE (The main problem...),
-PSU: HIPRO Model: HP-D3057F3R (Max. Output 300W),
-Asus A8N-LA Motherboard, easier to find by the HP/Compaq motherboard name: Nagami2L-GL8,
-4 GB RAM (4 x 1 GB) : 184 pin, DDR SDRAM, the maximum amount of physical memory for my PC,
-120 GB SATA 3G Hard drive.
My question is, what is the best or fastest video/graphics card for gaming with high display settings and watching movies, that my cpu and/or motherboard can handle?
I want to be sure the one I buy is compatible with my computer before I purchase it. I live in the US and prefer to buy from newegg.com but I'm flexible.
I'm also aware I may need to upgrade my PSU if I upgrade to a new graphics card.
Any and all advice/suggestions for the best graphics card (and possibly PSU) are greatly appreciated.
