Hello everyone, I have finally given up. I need everyone's help.

A few years ago I purchased a desktop.

Here is the link to the specs:

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03014421

Since then, I have upgraded it with a Sapphire Radeon 7750.

I am a full on gamer, this coming holidays, I have 200$ to spend.

I need the community's help in deciding what to upgrade and sell on the PC.

To be honest, I just want to get as much more performance as possible.

Please tell me what I can do, as I am not given the money to save.

I know that I could just end up buying an R9 270x, but I would like to know all my options.

Thanks in advance,

Dyson

Sell your 7750, buy a 270x, and get a boot ssd with the money from the 7750. (In my opinion)

Not sure if you upgraded the power supply or not but if you didn't , instead of the boot ssd, get a power supply along with the 270x

You have 300w, that is VERY low. Upgrade to 500w do what fate said!

Double check everything, I am usually wrong.

Thanks everyone, sorry but I forgot to mention that I can get a power supply from a family member.

So the way I see it,is I buy an R9 270X, I sell my 7750, i buy an SSD, which I dont think will work in my motherboard, and put my OS on the SSD?

 

Yup preaty much.. some SSD's come with basicily copying software... could help you out.. or just re-install windows on the ssd

Don't even bother with the 270x. The 7870 is pretty much the same card but much cheaper. 

The ssd will work with your mobo as long as it's sata. Your OS and programs should go on the ssd.

They just have different clock speeds. You can overclock them to the same speed.
