best gaming pc possible image
Q. I want to make my HP Pavilion a6750f Desktop PC more of a gaming pc if possible. If i can upgrade the graphics card what would be compatible and best choice? Also any other compatible upgrades would be great.
Answer
Graphics card:
Your board is equipped with a PCI-E socket allowing for any modern graphics card to be installed. your only limitation is the power supply in the unit which sadly is only 300 watts.
Although that should be more than enough to run a mid range card such as ATI 4670 /57XX. Personally I recommend ATi as at present the 4XXX range can be found for peanuts and are incredibly powerful cards for the price. The 5XXX range of ATi cards are expensive and do not offer a huge performance boost over previous generation 4X but they do come with DX11 support as opposed to DX10.1, Although this is neither hear nor there given a large portion of new releases are still using DX9 and DX10.0 graphical architectures.
If you do want to go high end with a 4870 (a fantastic card) or have money to burn on a 5870, you will require a newer power supply unit. 500 Watts will be sufficient, but be warned, with power supply's, you get what you pay for, I recommend brands such as Antec, Akasa, OCZ, Enermax.
Other upgrades:
Your board is an AM2+ board and thus should be compatible with the majority of new AM3 processors, although you may need to update your bios to achieve full compatibility with the AM3 range. This can be done from dells driver support section. However according to dell your system is already fitted with a quad core AMD which is more than enough for the most demanding tasks.
Memory:
According to dell your system comes with 8gig of DDR 2. in this day and age, 2gig is fine, 4 is ample, 8 is more than enough!!
Rule:
After 16 years of building, fixing, repairing, and selling systems and networks, the golden rule of a performance PC is this...
"Your PC is only as fast as its slowest component"
Which in your case is the graphics card.
Good luck and happy gaming.
p.s. don't forget to turn up your graphics settings and resolutions on your games when you get a new card, you would be amazed at the amount of people who buy power gaming systems and play games on default settings!! A complete waste of power and money.

Is it possible to build a gaming pc for under a grand?
Rachel
Is it possible to build a gaming pc for under a grand? This computer will be used from graphic design/multimedia (flash video creation, photoshop, etc.) It will also be playing games such as WoW, Portal 2, and maybe even Crysis 2. Any recommendation on how this could be done would be greatly appreciated. If you believe the system I'm looking for will cost over 1,000 please explain why. And thank you!
Answer
Yes, It is, IF you choose the right spec and build it your self. And If by "under a grand" you mean under 1000 $, here's my recommendation :
AMD Phenom II X4 955 3,2 ghz
MoBo Biostar TA890GXB
HDD 1TB WD
RAM DDR3 2x2 GB
XFX HD6850 GPU
PSU CORSAIR pure 600W
In total, it's about 8.2 million rupiahs....roughly US$950, includes the chassis, DVD Drive, logitech Mouse+Keyboard & logitech Speaker. US$1070 with windows 7 home premium. (Excluding the Monitor)
Yeah maybe that price is a bit...high, but you'll be able to play heavy games like crysis 2 on full HD and high settings without lags or something like that.
Also, these I got these price from a local store here in Indonesia. You might be able to find cheaper ones online, or where you live.
