Upgrading Dell Vostro 220s

[Michael091280]

Need help new to upgrading pc.
I want to run League and maybe Minecraft and CS Go but my graphic card sucks.
Do anyone know any cheap graphic card that will work at least for playing league with 60fps.

That is a small business oriented machine, if I'm not mistaken? and its a slim form factor too, you're gonna have an incredibly tough time doing much more than hdd/ssd install, ram upgrade..maybe

What are the specs? cpu, ram, etc

 

[Michael091280]

CPU is a Duo e7500 2.93
Ram is 2x 1Gb ddr2
250 w power supply

I thought of just upgrading my graphic card and power supply.
Will these be enough for me to run league at 60 fps?

Dell NVidia GeForce GT730 2GB DVI HDMI VGA Video Graphics Card J27RG
300W power supply

Okay, so wanna discuss building a new machine?!? LOL

Seriously though, what type of user are you? Do you play games, (ie. do you require an aftermarket card)

 

[Laquer Head]

nevermind .. you have the right psu already..

EDit: What are the minimum/recommended specs for that game? I'd go off that if thats pretty much what you play..

 

[Michael091280]

I just play league of legend that all.

I don't know much about computers so I am not sure about the psu size.

Unfortunately I've never played.. look on the games website and go off the recommended spec for graphics?

Yeah, you already had the Vostro batteries looked up and posted before i finished typing

MINIMUM SPECS

• 2 GHz processor (supporting SSE2 instruction set or higher)
• 1 GB RAM (2 GB of RAM for Windows Vista and newer)
• 8 GB available hard disk space
• Shader version 2.0 capable video card
• Screen resolutions up to 1920x1200
• Support for DirectX v9.0c or better

The 730 is probably your best bet for a low profile card. Should handle League alright. The Core2Duo will hold you back as much as anything at this point.

 

[Cisco001]

League of Legends Recommended Requirements
CPU Speed: 3 GHz processor
RAM: 2 GB of RAM (Windows Vista and 7 users should use 4 GB of RAM or more.)
OS: Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista SP1, or Windows 7
Video Card: Nvidia GeForce 8800/AMD Radeon HD 5670 or equivalent video card (Dedicated GPU with 512MB+ Video Memory(VRAM))
Free Disk Space: 12 GB

Is it with SFF case?
it is with TFX PSU
I would say get 2 x 2GB DDR2 RAM.
For Video card, probably low profile GT730 GDDR5/ GTX 1050 or GTX 1050ti. It depends on your budget.

If you got spare cash, I suggest you check out C2Q on ebay as well.

Which country are you from? I do have some DDR2 RAM and unwanted 300W TFX lying around. But I am in UK...
