Help on Upgrading my hp p7-1070t desktop

[Capnchris01]

I have a few questions in regards to upgrading my desktop. The systems specs are as follows:

HP P7-1070t

Intel(R) Core (TM) i3-2100 CPU @ 3.10GHz   3.10GHz

4.00GB RAM

64bit Operating System (windows 7)

Graphics card is a Nvidia Geforce 520

Motherboard is a Pegatron/Carmel

I wish to know what type of gaming cards i can upgrade into, as the 520 doesn't quite cut it. I plan on upgrading my power supply as well, however i will choose a supply based on the power needs of my system after i determine what new card(s) i can get.

Hi Capnchris01,

The better way to approach this is to look for some video cards that you like and meet the needs of your games, and then compare the cards' specs to your PC specs. Are there some cards you have an interest in?

Also, there are a few guides that experts on the HP Forums have put together to help with upgrading video cards and power supplies. Here is the link to the Video Card guide:

Here is the guide for Power Supplies:
