Hello

for now the only thing that I will be able to get is a new graphic card and maybe new rams

this is my pc specs

System Model: DH55TC

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 870 @ 2.93GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.9GHz

Memory: 4096MB RAM

Card name: AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series


I run most new games on medium settings so if I get a new graphic card will I be able to play it on ultra settings in 1080 , or advise me of any good one that will be suitable

and I have HEC-600 TE- 2WX power supply can that will mange the card?

thank you

Grabbing 4gb more ram and a GTX 970 will give you a massive upgrade, and as far as can see that psu should handle a 970

When I ordered mine, late oct, I had to pull a all nighter to get it. Took me a few days as well because each day I'd try to catch one in stock, they would disappear before I hit the button to try and buy it. :P
So then, thats when I decided to try the all nighter. It paid off. I'm happy with my card.

lol wat? i went on amazon last night and bought 2 gigabyte GTX 970s for $369 each. no problem. newegg has them in stock as well. both websites have 3 or 4 different revisions from EVGA, gigabyte, MSI, and zotac.

Plenty of sites like Amazon and Newegg have tons in stock for normal prices.

About a month ago, I would have argued with you guys. :P But it seems to be a bit easier to get one.

Yeah. GTX 970 would be a nice upgrade from what you currently have.

I'd personally wait for the new 20mn cards to drop. Will be a massive jump in power efficiency and overall performance for the price. I'd expect sometime this spring Nvidia or AMD will be throwing there big guns around.

Yes. You will be able to play most games on Ultra.
