He is noob, how does he make his PC better....


Money: Don't mind what for where etc. But i don't want to spend more than £1100 overall on PC, Spent £600 so far. So limit of £500/ 600 euros. No more than £200 / 240 euros on 1 thing

RAM: 16 GB (max) - DDR3 SDRAM - 1333 MHz - PC3-10600 (Not bad hehehe, 1333MHz its enough for all the plays atm)
Video Card: GeForce GT 630 (poor in my opinion)for 159€ you can have GTX 650 TI 2GB GDDR5, for example.
http://www.pccomponentes.com/gigabyte_geforce_gtx_650_ti_oc_2gb_gddr5.html

Still you got 80€ to buy other things, for example, SSD hard disk 94€ 128GB (14€ more)http://www.pccomponentes.com/crucial_m4_128gb_ssd_sata3.html, if you have other one with less GB, 64GB for example is arround 65-70€, you got 1T, to safe things and 64Gb for windows and games.

hug, kimer

Help me again! I looked at theat card kimer suggested, and the specs worked out, i do have PCI-E 2.0 whatever that is, BUT, i looked at image of card, and the ports it has on the back are different to those i have on the back of my PC :S I have the monitor port, under it the HDMI and the under that 2 old style circle connector things... :S will that card still fit/work, or are there others that will have the right ports at the back that i need to use....


I really need graphics card.... :S


HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEElp

Lunchbreak so no time to look at links, adapters on the back for normal monitor, many gfx cards come different and have an adapter with them

Widow, most of this cards has adapters.

So, i have a PCI-E 2.0; could i then get any Gfx card with pci-e 2.0 compatability? I cant find motherboard make anywhere, adter trying multiple programmes, but i will look inside pc later. it does say integrated video card, would that effect which cards i can buy?

You can disable it on BIOS. And most of motherboards are configured to disable integrated video card when exist another one plugged in PCI-X.

Is there an computer english for noobs explanation of what BIOS is?


Though that was just a type of yoghurt....
