Your ram isnt a problem (just a little fact to make your computer sound better) but your Intel graphics card isnt the greatest...but $100 - $200 wont give you one of the cards that would let you have all Ultra/very high settings on a game example, Battlefield 4, whereas if you spend around 50-70 more, you probably could, but Ive done research before, and the best (from what I have heard) graphics card which will leave you with money in the back of your pocket aswell is the AMD Radeon HD 7790 FX-779A-ZDB4 - Double D Black Edition the memory size is what Im concerned about but the fact that the memory type is GDDR 5 makes me feel a bit safer, and the 6.4GHz makes me better aswell for that price, dont take my word for this though, let others comment before making the decision.
P.S Congrats on the HP Pavilion, I know you pain brother... getting a completely new computer to get over my 3.89gb ram...

theyre all over $200, but if your willing to spend more money, I recommend the R9 270X, a bit more expensive than the gtx660, but my graphics card geek of a friend says its worth it for sure.

right now there are a lot of 660s that are under $200 and one 270X right at $200 - it would be a stretch for a 760 to come down $50 but we won't know until BF, huh? in other words, the prices of card will come down. :)

Huh, well look at that...well, the R9270X will be your best choice then. But if you can stretch out your budget the 760 is better.

well black Friday is gone and i couldn't buy anything useful, because i didn't know that my power supply was trash ( 300W the maximum ), so i bought a junk graphic (card geforce 610) for 20 dollars cuz that was the only one that could work with 300 W.
