I'm looking for a graphics card that'll allow me to boost the performance of my machine whilst playing certain games. I know if I really want to game at a high spec, I should really get a better machine, but this suits my price range.
System specs: Lenovo H330, Win7 64-bit, Intel i5-2320 @ 3Ghz (Quad), 8gb RAM, Intel HD Graphics (2000 I think), 250 watts (See picture, not sure if correct), 500gb
Mionitor: Samsung HD 1080p
The issue is, I can't find anything that meets the restrictions of my slim case, and I'm not really sure what I should be looking for anyway. Basically, I get fps on most games of around 25 (on normal settings), which is playable, but annoying. Also, I don't know if this effects the choice at all, but I don't really want to limit my monitor if that's possible (There's no point getting a HD monitor if I cant output in HD). I mainly play on Minecraft at 25-40fps (if I allocate it 4gb RAM, higher frame-rates if I run off a server) which is the main game I'm looking to improve the machine for.
Price range wants to stay below £150, though I imagine my options will be limited and not really reach this high regardless, but if I'm wrong, please call me on it.
Could anyone point out some suggestions for me and where to get the card from? Keeping in mind the specs in the topic title.
Thanks in advance. ~Ben
