My son wants to be able to run Steam games and such on this PC.  However, Halo lags and freezes.  What kind of graphics card and power supply can I upgrade to run games on this PC? 

Specs are found here. 

Thank you in advance for any help for a novice PC person.

for the graphics card, I often recommend the Asus site with filter options

just 500w

See if others offer it, price/performance may vary...

sometimes no choice, you will have to change the power supply as well

Power Supply Type
180 W Gold efficiency power supply
