I want to upgrade my current gaming computer (CyberpowerPC Gamer Ultra GUA880 Desktop) with a new graphics card, and a new power supply. I just want to know what graphics card/power supply to use, and also if there is more to it, then just plunging it into the PC. Do you have to install a software to go along with it?


Answer
Just plug the graphics card into a PCI slot, you will need to download drivers, drivers are free. Power supply needs some screws, which should come with it. Then you just have to hook up the power cords. I would reccommend a GTX 600 series or AMD 7000 series. I prefer Nvidia. For a power supply, I would reccommend a Rosewill Fortress 750 watts. If you want a video tutorial, look up "How to build a gaming pc 2012". It should be by Carey Holesman. I might have miss-spelled the last name.

What is the best gaming desktop I can buy?

I have around $800 to spend. I want to be able to play Crysis 3 and Far Cry 3 on maximum graphics. Please list the specs I need. I'm not lazy i just don't know anything about computers. I've been researching for days on what computer to get. Please help! Thanks!


Answer
The one you build yourself.....
NEVER buy a gaming computer.

Yahoo answers will only allow up to 10 links, so I have to leave out the not so important components. Just copy paste in the search field on Newegg to find them, I will give the full name but no link for those.

BEST BUDGET GAMING DESKTOP PC BUILD FOR THE MONEY (under $750.00USD for the tower only)
Monitor, keyboard and mouse can add from $175 to over $500, depending on size and model you want.
All prices are in $USD and in the USA, current as of December 2012 and they might be slightly different one way or the other by now.
Also, some shipping charges may apply to some of the items.
Add your state sales tax if you reside in NJ, CA or TN - that's where Newegg has warehouses.
Look for similar parts on Amazon, Tiger Direct, etc if you want to avoid paying Uncle Sam.
