I dont play games heavily but would like to play the latest games that come out at a decent performance with most settings on high.
Is my pc lacking in any way with the graphics card? I was thinking of telling him to maybe change the video card if it underperforms compared to my processor? I need some advice on this. Shall I just keep this video card or tell him to change it to a better one and if so which one?
Also how is the quad core intel processor I chose? Does it make a big difference?
Currently I have a 2.4 intel proccessor with 1gb ram and a ayi 128mb card so this is a pretty big upgrade. Havent changed for 5 years
