$1101 ADM

If there's any way to add those $100... otherwise you might have to look at an FM2+ platform (which I guess is noticeably weaker than the i5)

Can this thing handle 4K video without a dedicated GPU? Since that stuff is pretty demanding :/

Buying a new rig and I'm officially lost. Need something beefy enough to handle Photoshop and 4K video editing—just the tower, obviously, I've already got the monitor, keyboard, and mouse setup. Budget is around $1000, if we can make that happen 🤔 LP

I've just got integrated graphics right now...!!! Is one of those two cards actually going to fit my current setup??

crimsonstag84 said:What about the rest of the build? What are you actually using it for? And what's the budget?

THE BUILD:
Motherboard:
Manufacturer: ASUSTeK Computer INC.
Model: M2N68-AM Plus
CPU:
AMD Athlon II X2 250 3,01 GHz
Memory:
Type: DDR2
Size: 2048MB
Not gonna lie, my power supply is pretty cheap stuff...
I'm looking to grab one of these two GPUs... just wondering if they'll actually work with this setup
-Sapphire ATI Radeon HD5450 Graphics Card (PCI-e, 1GB DDR3 Memory, HDMI, DVI, VGA, 1 GPU)
-Sapphire Radeon HD6450 Graphics Card (ATI Radeon HD 6450, PCI-E, 1GB, DDR3 Memory)

Hey... quick question...
I'm thinking about picking up this graphics card: Sapphire ATI Radeon HD5450 Graphics Card (PCI-e, 1GB GDDR3, HDMI, DVI, VGA, 1 GPU)
But I noticed this one uses GDDR3... while my rig is running on GDDR2... does that actually matter or am I good to go?😁

I don't know, man. I'm just living out here in Imok, and most shops I can find are around San Francisco or down in Georgia (Pittsburgh, Boise). Anyone got a decent GPU recommendation?

Is it a PDS ATX - 450? If that’s what the label says, is that actually any good, or just mediocre?

Is this an ATX 450W unit?

Is there any way to check what power supply I've got... either through some software or by actually peeking inside the case? heheh 😁

So, I'm looking to pick up a GPU, but nothing crazy expensive—maybe under $267. Just want something so I can play games without a headache. Here’s my current rig:
CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 250
Motherboard:
Manufacturer: ASUSTeK Computer INC.
Model: ASUS M2N68-AM plus
Chipset: Nvidia GeForce 7025
Southbridge: Nvidia nForce 630a
RAM:
Type: DDR2 Channels#: Single
Size: 2048 Mbytes
NB Frequency 1607.3 MHz
That's basically it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. POZZZZ 🙂
