looking for some help on possible upgrades for my Presario SR1950NX
small upgrades until I build a better PC, this one has lasted ~7years with WoW/D2/LoL/WC3 abuse
Asus A8N-LA aka Asus Nagami2-GL8E
Athlon 64 (V) 3800+ 2.4 GHz
Integrated GeForce 6150 LE
3GB PC-3200 184 pin DDR SDRAM
Bestec ATX-300-12Z : 300W +12v=19a
3PCI (2Open)
1PCI Express x16
tried a ATI Radeon 5450 512mb over the integrated card and was happy with that for WoW
- went from low settings @10fps
- fair settings - NA
- to good settings @40fps
- high approx @18fps(spiking) didnt feel like an upgrade from low
- ultra settings - NA
looking at tigersdirect/newegg and i could potentially replace the PSU and GPU for cheap.
I want to try an XFX GPU and I havent found one that doesnt require at least a 400W PSU.
need to know if the below GPU&PSU are compatible with my system and if not, do I have any options to do a similar upgrade?
XFX GeForce 9600 GSO PVT96OYHF7 Video Card - 512MB, GDDR3, PCI-Express 2.0, 1x Dual-link DVI-I, 1x HDMI, DirectX 10, SLI Ready, Fan
