I would upgrade your video card...I have the same card and I use to stutter occasionally when poop hit the fan during BG's....it looks to be the weakest component in your computer depending on your HD type...if it's a regular than I'd say graphics card and a SSD.

I know alot of people don't trust it...but the Windows Experience score does actually give you an idea on what components are the weakest in your PC...might want to check it out....

According to WES, my weakest link is the Graphic card.

The GTX 660 is a great card. You can find many in-depth reviews of it on YouTube.

 

[King Grub]

Would it be much better than my current, and does it work with my other current specs etc?

How much juice does your PSU have

300w.

You should upgrade your PSU as well then to an at least 650 watt one.

 

[EliteGM]

Yup. Ain't no use getting that 660 Ti with a 300w PSU

Perhaps the "Fractal Design Integra R2 650W PSU" for 99$?

 

[Hejula]

The PSU wattage recommended by Nvidia (for GTX 660) is something like 450 watts so go for it. Just make sure to read some reviews before buying it as you might find something about it you don't like or isn't to your taste.

If you can, I reccomend getting an OCZ ModXStream 700W. I've always found it to be one of the best bang for your buck PSU's

The 660 would out perform your current card by a mile, As i recall i think the Nvidia 670 out performs anything that AMD makes even the 7970. Although you would have to upgrade your power supply to something that either had the right connectors to power it or purchase an adapter. The 660 isnt the most power hungry card but i would recommend something about a 600Watt.

As I over came some extra fund I figure I might just get a new PC. Thinking about this one.Scroll down abit for speccs and use a translator if you need it.

Put your own computer together, you will probably save a few $$ and you can customise it to your own taste.

Also that computer you linked is over 5000 euro and has a Pentium G2120? You can get so much more for that amount of money.

hmmh?

 

[EliteGM]

lol i was going to say; that's not euros

i'd say that's not too bad a deal for +/- 650 euro's, but the fact that self-built will always be cheaper

 

[King Grub]

I'm having real issues deciding if I shall buy the PC i posted eailer or not... I really want an noticeable upgrade, atleast to say,
