This is a link to the computer I have just purchased. This computer comes without a graphics card and i would like to play games on it. I was wondering if i could get any help choosing parts that would work and would be cost efficient. Thank you very much if you choose to help me.

You'll be limited by the power supply, so we need to know the power supply name/model and what wattage it says it has. Along with what games you want to play.

I could not discover the Power supply but all that matters is that I want to upgrade and it is ATX. The parts here are all in price range and I just need someone to double check my estimations that these parts will work. If you know a better deal or a suggestion for a good part that is in this range please feel free. Thank you for any help.

I have to order the parts tommorow so please get back to me ASAP.

Appearently the SE version of 460 isnt that good. The oc'd 460 or 6850 would be much better, if you can.

If it's the 2nd stick for dual channel, get the same one as you have to insure compatability. Or at least the same voltage and speed, maybe GB size depending on if channel 1 or 2.
