    Anyone on here into there gaming rigs?

    Im not a mental gamer but do like to play the odd game on my PC
    Im looking at upgrading the praphics card within the next few weeks.
    Im not wanting to spend a fortune but want something thats going to do what I want it to do.

    my current spec is

    windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
    Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 motherboard
    AMD FX-6200
    MSI GeForce N450GTS-MD2GD3 MSI Global N450GTS-MD2GD3
    12gb ddr3
    Corsair CX750

    not sure how that will match up to a few on here but as I say im looking to upgrade my Graphics card.
    and then my cpu cooler so looking for advice.
    as said im not a big gamer I have the odd go of gta4, grid and just cause 2 at the weekends when im bored.
    so also what other games are worth having a bash at?

    I can give nothing but praise to the most expensive graphics card you can afford. A mate recently upgraded to a gtx 750ti (about £120) and says his game Battlefield 4 now plays on ultra settings with no crashes so far, he was crashing 2/3 times a day when playing and complained he couldn't hit ****.
    Obviously more expensive is better with higher rated DDR but there has to be a cut off where graphic card is throttled by slower PC. I saw a PC in a magazine advertised at £2500 as a gaming rig but that is out of most folks budget.
    Have a look at Video Card Comparison - GPUReview.com and compare yours with more updated cards.

    Another thing to remember, once you've got it, it'll be poor after a year or so!
