okay, so the pc i bought has a few problems. the vid card and the power supply. i have done much research and heard diff results.. here's what i need help with...
it comes with a 460w powersupply and a gt530, both not what i need to max games..
i have heard ppl say that this pc can update to a gtx550ti on this power supply and run fine.. but also that is as high as i can go with the graphics card update not only due to the pcu but also nothing higher will fit in the pc. is this true? i dont kno enough about systems.also the 6870 would work i guess but would it work on the stock pcu or would i need a higher one.
im looking for compatability/updating advice. i pretty much want to be ale to max games, what should i get? i was thinking the gtx550ti alone and use the current power supply. or update that card and also get a new pcu though what one i dont know. or should i get other vid card all together? i could be wrong but i dont think the gt530 is going to cut it:/ thanks if i can get some advice
looks like it already was picked up to ship, so may just have to deal with it for now. either way im betting it will run d3 maxed out with ease and thats mostly what i care about.
i used to have a intel core2 quad 9300 2.5ghz 4gb ram. ati 5770hd,620gig hd
i just ordered an
XPS 8300 Intel Core i7-2600 processor(8MB Cache, 3.4GHz
12GB DDR3 SDRAM at 1333MHZ
Nvidia Geforce gt530
2TB Serial ATA 2 Hard Drive 7200 RPM
will the vid card bottleneck me and make it worse than my last pc?
i game pretty hard and like to run everything on max.. my previous pc did that but w skyrim coming up i thought id need to update.
just got a pc w a geforce gt530. im not familiar with geforce and was wondering if somebody could tell me how good this card is.. is it equivelant to a 5770hd?
just invested in a new pc. i wasnt going to at first but now i am..
Previous PC=Intel core 2 quad q9300 2.5ghz 4gb ram., 620gig hard drive, ati 5770hd, win 7 64bit
New PC= win7 professional 64bit. XPS 8300
