High wattage doesn't mean it's of good quality, keep that in mind when you go to use it in the future.

I merged your threads to avoid double posting.

Just make sure to quote when you respond and I'll know when you do.

 

 

So your system is fairly competent as is, I don't really think you need much of an upgrade.

Slowness may come from a hard drive if you don't have your operating system or games on an SSD.
