What's up everyone. I have a stock HP Pavillion a4310f http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01949097&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=4107499 and I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
I dont really play any newer games just Counter Strike and Madden 08. I do a lot of recording with Fraps but it's pretty laggy while recording. I have about $150 and a $25 gift card to bestbuy.
The stock PSU is only 250W so Im guessing I will need to upgrade that if I get a graphics cards. Currently this computer is running integrated graphics, I heard integrated sucks. I have a 1TB external HD that I store mainly all of my music, movies, and recorded gameplay.
Should I get a new Video card, PSU, and possibly some more RAM? The case is a Mid-size ATX so Im not gonna have much wiggle room I'm assuming. Maybe a modular PSU would be best so I wouldn't have extra cords taking up space.
Thanks for the help!
