    Battlefield Bad Company
    Burnout Paradise
    GTA 4
    Combat Arms
    Super meatboy
    Pretty much it I play.

    DrBejar,
    I would hang on to your current GPU till you can jump up to the 5770 or better, of course allowing that your PSU is up for the task. Just my opinion and if you can sell your GPU then that could change things a little as well.

    Yeah, you're right. I'll hang on and buy a external drive!
    my computer is smooth and playing on med settings is fine, right?

    Next time you find yourself opening up the side of the case checkout what power supply you have and the wattage but more importantly the voltage on the +12 v rail(s) then post it in your system specs since your PSU will come into play when upgrading a graphics card.
    Thanks. Fabe
