Upgrade Suggestions

[Dread458]

Ok so my system is:
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1336887&Sku=B69-0454#

And i put in a Radeon 6450 (which seemed to make performance worse)

And i wanted to know what a good upgrade to this system would be, i would be willing to change motherboard cpu and graphics. And a few games i want to run are Apb reloaded, Syndicate, Assasins Creed revelation, and battlefield 3

Thanks in advance

The 6450 is not a strong gaming graphics card , but it should have boosted gaming graphics if set up correctly so your system uses both graphics systems together .

But even with that working correctly games like BF3 are a challenge .

You could change processor to an A8-3870
and also add a powerful gaming graphics card .
But what you add is limited by your budget , and your power supply wattage .

How much did you want to spend? and what is the resolution of your monitor ?

My budget will probably be under 300 and i have my resolution set to 1360x768
