Hello!

 

I'm thinking about upgrading my graphics card only right now but becasue I'm so bad at this I decided to join this forum!

 

Right now I have:

 

AMD Athlon II X4 620 Processor (4 CPUs), ~2.6GHz

6gig of ram

NVIDIA Geforce GT 240

motherboard pegatron mzn7b

 

Is it even possible to get a decent upgrade if I change my graphics card only and if so to which one?

 

Thanks!

I dont really have a budget but less than 400€

Why GPU only?

You can get a GTX 970 for under 400, but would it be worth it with a bottlenecking CPU?
