Okay first of I am sorry if I am posting this in the wrong spot. I have never used any online forums before.
I have had the computer for 3 years now I think.
I thought I was getting a great computer when I bought this....turns out I knew nothing.
Here is my system specs
I am using PC wizard to get these specs
System Manufacturer: Dell
Model: Studio XPS 8100
Motherboard: Unspecified(Intel H57 chipset)
CPU: i5 650 @ 3.20(duo core)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 220 1GB
RAM: 8gb (4x2gb) Manufacturer Nanya
HD: WD 1TB
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
PSU: 300watt
last week my GT 220's Fan started going crazy and spinning fast really laud, especally when gaming(Skyrim, COD Games, Medieval total war2) I took it out cleaned it. did not help.
During normal, everyday stuff the heat level sits at around 50c sometimes hits low 70c. during gaming it is low 70c-high 80c
I am looking for advice for what GPU to get.
I have been looking at AMD HD 6570 1gb or maybe the Geforce 420 1gb.
Also I want to be able to run Skyrim at Mid-high settings and get 30+ FPS like with my GT220 (I have read that 220's are not supposed to be able to do that. but mine did for some reason.)
