Hi everyone!,
I my brother just purchased a Gateway dx4860-ub33p
( http://jp.gateway.com/gw/en/US/content/model/PT.GCPP2.004 ). He wants to buy a graphics card for his new machine but has no clue where to start! (neither do i really) he wants to be able to play games on it. i know he wants to be able to play Starwars: The old republic, and even Elder Scrolls Skyrim.
Where do we start when considering a graphics card? Can this machine even handle a graphics card that can run those games?
Thanks for reading my post!
