[/QUOTE] Well i mainly care about gameplay, like minecraft has good gameplay but bad graphics. Even if i can play the game at high settings, i play at normal for better framerate. If it's over 60 fps with either graphics it does not really matter though. Normal will be fine with me.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

I'm not sure, but you might not be able to find a card that small that will handle BF3.

Unless you're rubbing your feet on a rug while handling the motherboard and throwing pieces all over the place, transferring contents from one case to the next is very easy. You don't need to be that worried about it.

What are your other components? If they're all really low end stuff too, it might be worth it to just build a whole new system. If you just want good framerates, and don't care about maxing games out, you could probably get away with like, less than $500 for a whole new system. And even something like that would actually play all but the most recent, super graphic intense games, at pretty high settings, too.

[/QUOTE] No my computer itself is really good, 3.7 GHz 4GB ram, It's just the video card thats the problem. I have the acer AX3950 if you can look up all my specs.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

Considering how overpriced any half decent low profile cards are you'd be better spending £40 and a reasonably good case and a full size GPU.
