    Upgrading Monitor/GFX Card


    So, I'm upgrading to a Full HD LED Monitor and a graphics card. But, I don't know anything about graphics cards or installing them. What would you recommend? I have a budget of 100 for the card. I'll mostly play WoW or TOR

    HP shows the HD4650 and installation is fairly straightforward if you can identify the pci-e slot which you only have one of according to the specs.

    What size monitor do you plan on getting? Also what brand and wattage power supply do you have?

    Here is a 6750 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814161395

    It needs a 450 watt PSU......

    The PSU is the fundamental building block for a quality system. This is also the key area that big brands cut corners and limit your upgrade-abilities. I would suggest pricing out a new modular PSU, GPU and LED. Now the next big question is will a standard power supply fit into the case?

    Then you will need this...Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER Elite 460 RS-460-PSAR-J3 460W ATX12V V2.31 Power Supply at a minimum.....Don't try to cheap out on the psu....a bad one will cost more in the long run....

    Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER Elite 460 RS-460-PSAR-J3 460W ATX12V V2.31 Power Supply

    Would that be better for the price? It's only a little more, but 500w
