I have a Gateway DX4200-UB001A and I'm looking for a modest upgrade so I can play some of my computer games smoother with higher graphics. Right now I have a 300w PSU and ATI Radeon® HD 3450 graphics with 256 MB DDR2 memory video card. I have ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5400 in my laptop, so I definitely want something stronger than that in my desktop. Does anyone have any suggestions of a compatible PSU and video card combo that goes with my motherboard? Budget is around $200, just want a modest upgrade to run Star Wars Old Republic when it comes out, as well as Starcraft 2 and Skyrim.

**I"m also new to the site, so if there's a better section for this question please let me know! Thanks

What are the rest of the system specs, CPU, RAM?

Those are general specs for that model range, what's actually in your system?

 

For 200 for a card and PSU, you'd be left with something like a 6770 (which may actually run on your power supply as is) or a 6790. Click on the link in my sig for video card options, you need to leave 60-80 dollars for a decent 400-500 watt power supply. Something like http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817371034
