Hello, i'm currently trying to purchase a new graphics card for my budget system
I currently have :
ASUS M2N68 Plus
AMD II x3 445 3.11Ghz
4.00GB RAM
64bit OS
44' Samsung Plasma DVI (1024x768)
550w PSU
NVIDIA GeForce 8400GS DDR2 512mb (i think)
My Windows Experiece Index thingy is currently limited to 3.9 due to Graphics so I thought a new card would do the trick (i haven't purchased one since Voodoo 2 came out many many years ago lol)
I'm a complete computer noob and don't really know which factors to consider when upgrading, i'm ready to buy a Radeon HD 6770 1GB GDDR5 for £80 but been warned my cheap ass system won't be able to handle it. Also should I just buy an HDMI cable instead of using the DVI cable thingy for the monitor?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, i've been stalling on this for several months now and swtor draws near...
Cheers to those who assist
