Upgrading my hardware help!

[deoferd]

I really need help on how i can improve my old pc's performance, I want to play Mass Effect 2 and Dragonage II with full effects on but my current hardware is not cooperating. My system is running on a 64bit windows 7 ultimate OS.

Radeon x1550? Assuming that's correct, there's your problem!

A gpu (video card) upgrade is what you need, what's your budget?

I would also consider upgrading your cpu while they are still available.

They will disappear soon and you won't be able to get them. This will extend your pc's life by a couple years.
