Hi guys, I would love to upgrade my horrible pc :( http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=15rdwdj&s=5#.UmMO-vk7th2 I want to be able to play BF3 on low settings at 60 fps 1080p while recording at 30fps...

Should I upgrade my GPU first? If so, to what? My budget is currently 100$ for a gpu but the lower the budget can be, the better. 

Take in mind that my psu is bad and has low watts, the lower the GPU wattage will be the better since I won't have to spend extra cash on a PSU. (My pc and budget are low)

First buy an HD 7750

 

Next buy a Q6600

Hi there again :)

Ok thanks for answering, should I get 1 GB VRAM of GPU or 2 GB? Is this ok? http://pcpartpicker.com/part/powercolor-video-card-ax77501gbk3h Also can I run it with my PSU currently until I get a new one?

Sadly, I don't really have much money like you guys with the titans xD I can only upgrade once in a while, this is very important to me, please tell me what to upgrade first... is a 7750 good?

To be perfectly honest.

I would say wait and save up...if you buy things now, they are going to be pretty bad later down the line, specially with buying such dated parts :/

Honestly....

 

save your money and put away whatever you can every week or month.  Then 6 months from now you can get yourself something decent at once that will last you....

 

I wouldn't recommend bothering to upgrade anything.

An HD 7750 will work fine with your current psu, but make sure that you get an HD 7750 with 1GB GDDR5. NOT DDR3
