Hi, i want to upgrade my graphics card and wonder which graphics card can i get? money isn't the problem just want to know which highest model can i run.
My Mobo is Asus P5Q. Processor is Intel Core Duo CPU E8500 3.16Ghz 3.17Ghz.
Power Supply watts is 500. Current Graphics card im using is NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT. Thanks.
 
Can run any card. But your pretty limited with your power supply. Lesser so with your CPU. What power supply you got?
 
Oh, okay thanks. If i upgrade my power supply which model do you suggest? and is it necessary to even upgrade my mobo and processor as well?
 
A 7850 will be all you will be able to run without a bottleneck, or a Geforce GTX 570, if prefer nvidia. Your power supply will run both. A whole new computer would do you good, that processor is weak.
 
Oh, alright thanks. I was planning to get an Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H ATX LGA1155 Z77DDR3 3PCI-E16 3PCI-E1 HDMI CrossFireX/SLI SATA3 USB3.0 Motherboard and Intel Core i5 3570K Unlocked Quad Core Processor LGA1155 3.4GHZ Ivy Bridge 6MB. Are these 2 any good?
 
Yeah, great choices. You can reuse your power supply and hard drive. 550w is enough for a lot of stuff. Here are my reccomendations:
Reuse power supply
Reuse Hard dive
Get the cpu and motherboard you just said
Get a GTX 570 or, if money isn't a problem, a GTX 670 for crazy performance, like max on BF3 with a good FPS. A 670 is so awesome and power efficient, and will run on your power supply.
Get a NZXT Source 210 for a nice cheap case. Really, it's personal preference for a case. I would get a case from: Corsair, NZXT, Antec, and Cooler master.
