Graphics card upgrade question.

[GoldenEagle]

Hello, I am upgrading my shitty graphics card (Intel HD 4600.) to a MSI GTX 970 (100ME.) But I want to know, if I upgrade will I be able to play BF4 with no problems? (I am aware that I need to get a better power supply.)

Hahahaha

 

Anyway, yes you should be fine max settings now, just make sure your psu will support that 970

Yeah so long as you get a better power supply you should be fine

In a word? YES. replace your power supply with say, a CX500 (that's really all you need) and you'll be Gold... erm, Bronze at least! (in terms of efficiency, you understand...)

The PC itself will be a wonderful madness of power... provided of course that the HP board doesn't give out on you

RAM Might be an issue, but make sure the GPU will fit first.

 

I also recommend getting an SSD as it will increase overall performance.

Yeah but it does cost more and I also need to upgrade a case so my gtx 970 will fit and a compatible motherboard to the case. I will probably buy it when I have a chance. Should I get

Corsair carbie series 500R Black Steel Structure or CoolerMaster HAF 932?

I recommend Corsair any day, Corsair 200R is my go-to.

Agreed.

500R looks much better imho, but I don't know how much more functional it is over the 932. Get whichever one will suit you the most. Cases are very subjective.

Also, if you're getting a new motherboard (please), make sure it's an H97, unless you're planning on overclocking a new part later.

Unless you like rattling noise cause by the front bay covers due to HDD vibration, don't get the HAF 932. That was my main reason for getting rid of mine and getting the "little brother" HAF912.... There's also a tons of holes for dusts to go through, so you'd need filters as well...... Unless of course you go 100% SSD and don't care about dust.

 

As for the main topic, yes, it wil work perfectly, you will just need to change the cheapo Power Supply that HP puts in their PC, they generally put in the strict minimum power requirement PSU in their computers, so it wouldn't be capable of handling the graphic card.
