Looking to upgrade my PC
Hello, I was looking to upgrade my PC so I can run more games/stream.

I want to stream but I think my graphics card is the Problem here, because I see people stream with the same Processor and they seem fine so it must be the Graphics card. because the games lag super hard when I try to stream.

What I would like!: To be able to stream while playing the games on medium/high at least if possible.

Example Games:

League Of Legends
Payday 2
CS:GO
ect

Now I don't have the biggest budget Unfortunately I would say between 150-200 I could
maybe do more considering i would have to more than likely upgrade the "Power Supply"


Here is my computer Specs With
I am using speccy so I'm just gonna type everything "Not very good with PC parts"

Processor: Intel Core i5-2320 @ 3.00Ghz - Sandy Bridge 32nm Technology
Graphics Card: 1024MB ATI AMD Radeon HD 7350 (Sapphire/PCPartner)
Ram: 8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz (9-9-9-24)
MotherBoard: Acer Aspire M3970G

Here is the computer if you need more information "Could not find it on the site must not sell it
anymore" : http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0%2c2817%2c2407205%2c00.a...

and like I said at least medium high settings While streaming While playing the games listed above would be really nice!

Thanks in advance

Here are the becmchmark for Battlefield 4. I chose this because it is one of the more graphical intensive game currently.

But I am not too sure about the benchmark when streaming.


Looks to be really good. I'm hoping it can stream games as well. it can handle most games on high/ultra

so I should be able to stream with medium/high settings! which is awesome thanks for all the help man

Yes you are right about the Crossifre.

Just to be sure, please post the final specs you plan to buy or build.

The R9 270 is a strong card and I wouldn't upgrade it UNLESS you want to play on high or maxed out for most games at 60+FPS. and you also are streaming so maybe it is worth the upgrade.

Or you could upgrade by doing a R9 270 Crossfire. Which performs similar to a single R9 290X.

Note: You will require a suitable power supply.


If i'm not wrong here the crossfire means Having two of the same card correct? if so thats way to expensive. thats why i asked if the "Sapphire Radeon r9 270 GB GDDR5 Dual-x With Boost and OC Version PCI-Express" Would work in my computer "With a new power supply" of course.

and be able to handle streaming/gaming that would be nice

also would be processor be able to keep up? or would my performance be held back due to it

Which graphics card did you find?

To find a PSU under $40 will probably be not a suitable choice for a strong and powerful PC build.

Please provide a budget for the whole upgrade. I would personally just upgrade the graphics card only. But please do provide the rest of the specs of the build.


Wow, i forgot to paste the link LOL. I did say 150-200 for the budget. and here is the link:

I will check my power supply and Hopefully maybe it will be good enough and i will not have to upgrade it!. lets hope I'll check and get back to you
