what a want to do is upgrade the graphics card but where to start?,
i really fancy the xfx 9600 gt oc 512mb but costly price for it not to work,or a nvidia 8800gt or 8900gt....unknown but hoping you guys can help.

Re: what graphics card???

you would have to find out if ur motherboard has a pci express slot to buy a newer graphics card. Do you know what motherboard it has?

Also, did you buy your monitor, keyboard etc seperate? or did they come with the pc?

ps how much are you willing to pay for a new graphics card? my bro has this one & can run cod4 at max settings minus soften smoke edges:
