Upgrading advice needed

[VociferousDavey]

So, first off here is my current set up.

Mobo: Gigabyte ga a55m ds2
APU: Amd 3670k 2.7ghz
Psu: Unbranded 300 Watt
Case: Unbranded Matx case
Gpu: Onboard
Ram: 2x4gb Crucial. (not sure on Mhz, CpuID says PC3-10700h (667 MHz) if anyone can help decipher?)
Harddrive: 1TB Seagate.

What i'm wanting to do with this system is Audio Recording, some Gaming, e.g. Guildwars 2, Borderlands 2. and possibly a DVD here and there.
I'm also wanting to do a dual monitor set up.

For me, on first sight is i will be wanting a graphics card, i know that you can crossfire the onboard with a 6000 series card so should i be looking at one of them or something more powerful as a stand alone card?

Then i had the thought that my power supply, being unbrande

Hi and welcome.

You are right to think you need a new PSU if the one you have is unbranded and of such low power.

A separate GFX card which you can easily afford within your budget will be faster than trying to Crossfire a low end GFX card with Llanos built-in IGP.

Thanks for taking the time out to reply, would i be correct in thinking that if i added a few case fans i could run the fans at a slower rpm to reduce the noise level?

Cheers, Dave.
