I have never been real big on PC gaming. But due to having several friends into it, I have started to venture into it more. I just signed up for a Steam account yesterday So anyhow, here is my current setup.
HP Desktop. I changed the motherboard/processor out in Dec 2010.
I am using a MSI G41TM-E43 motherboard
Intel dual core processor (can't remember the model)
2gb of DDR2 ram (expandable to 8gb)
I know I need a better Video Card, but I'm not 100% sure on what to get. I need something inexpensive, but yet works good. I called MSI and the tech said that this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127666 was a good card for the price. Now, I'm not doubting him, but I just wanted to get some opinions from the guys here that are into gaming.
Far as my processor, am I OK to stick with it?
If I go with that card, do I need to change out my power supply? It's stock and is rated at 250watts max output.
