Success and closing with many thanks Okay stormy13 thanks very much for this advice really appreciate it Update and Closure (26:06:2015): Due to a Post strike the SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7750 1GB has only just arrived by my son, but he has installed it, ran the AMD Catalyst Software Suite, and...

Okay thanks a lot CountryBumkin and Proudtobegreek Yes I will eventually update PSU to a better quality and higher Watt, like you say 600W. And yes, I am now fully aware of the importance of this - I had no idea before - thanks to you all - and many thanks for teaching me so much. Can my son...

one last question Well, I certainly have learnt a lot these last days, my sincere thanks to jds63, and everyone else that replied, really appreciate it a lot. I checked out the PSU, found out that it is some crappy China thing (400W 8cm OEM SI) – that will have to be changed in the future –...

ah okay, the HD6850 needs 500 W - PITY, was going to get this for my son (couldn't find the info about how much W needed - often not shown on sites that sell these - such as Amazon) and WOW complicated - found this:How much wattage do I need? - Power Supplies - Components won't...

I’m not going to pretend I understand this whole graphic card business, because I don’t, and the most, way out of my affordability But I checked the PassMark list again and found one (Sapphire ATI HD 7750) that was even a little cheaper with G3D Mark at 1637 compared to 1287 / GT640 and...

Okay thanks proudtobegreek In my ignorance it looks that the GT640 is slightly more than a “slight advantage” with G3D Mark rating at 1,287 compared to 797 of the HD 7660D – or am I missing something? (but I guess to "real" gamers this is a minimal difference? But both are a no-go for real...

Desktop - and the AMD Radeon HD 7660D is OnBoard Graphics, part of the AMD A10-5800 (ASUS FM2 Mainboard) I did try to do a vs check but I got confusing/conflicting results - my knowledge in this area is too minimal - fast Zero

Can anyone tell me if the Graphic Card Asus NVIDIA GeForce GT640 (PCI-e, 2GB GDDR3 RAM, DVI, D-Sub, HDMI, 1 GPU) (Asus 90-C1CSB0-S0UAN0YZ) is any better than: OnBoard Graphics ATI RADEON HD 7660D (Asus F2 A85-M Pro motherboard) ? it's for gaming (War Thunder / World of Tanks / Minecraft and...

are any of these a possible option? *** - Sapphire Radeon R7 240 Boost - *** MSI Radeon R5 230 2048MB DDR3 64bit PCI-E x16 HDMI Asus NVIDIA GeForce GT 620 (PCI-e, 1GB GDDR3, DVI, D-Sub, HDMI, 1 GPU) PNY Nvidia GeForce GT720 797 MHz 1GB PCI-Express 2.0 (GF720GTLP1GESB) 2048MB NVIDIA...

Once again my many thanks chris1neji for taking the time and trouble to help us! Okay thanks, so that clears up my confusion about the graphic cards (HD5450 & HD8350) The CPU is as described in my first post above (you can also see the computer here: Shinobee - Gaming / Multimedia...

Really confused now! Radeon HD 8350 Really confused now! The Graphic card is shown in Device Manager as being = Radeon HD 8350 1GB DDR3 650 Mhz This is in line with what the Aunt says she ordered instead of the onboard (Please see snipping tool photo) However in one of the slots I...

...Return the 5450 if it's still possible and use... "...Return the 5450 if it's still possible and use..." thanks a lot for your reply I really appreciate it That was what I was thinking too - But what I don't quite understand in your reply is the "...Return the 5450 if it's still...
