Hello All,

The time has come to consider upgrading my PC and because i'm a skinflint, I'm wondering if I can just get away with just upgrading my graphics card. Here's my specs.

AMD Phenon X4 955 - 3.4Ghz
8Gb DDR3 Ram
ATI HD5770 - 1Gb

So OcUK do you think I'd get a decent performance boost by just upgrading my graphics card and fully upgrading later? I do have my eye on the GTX 760. Any better recommendations around this price range?

Hi,

What case and PSU do you have?

I just have some random midi tower case. The new card might be a squeeze if they've increased massively in size in the last few years. The PSU is an OcUK Battle 650W one from about 3 years ago.

EDIT: I could pick up a cheap case as it that'd be much easier to fit everything in with the different placement of the hard drive bays compared to my older case.
