Product: Pavilion p7-1026b
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Current graphics card- ATI Radeon HD 4200 integrated graphics card.

 

According to the research I've done, with my desktop's current processor I can't expect to upgrade to anything too ambitious. However, I'm not looking to run current gen video games, but just something strong enough to run Runescape on a decent graphics level. Is there anything I can upgrade my current card to that can do the job?

@4421MARR,

The requirements would recommend any GTX 550TI or 660 card. Then a new PSU.

Your system is a Legacy BIOS, so you have to stay with cards that are   not  UEFI vBIOS.

Comparing the 550ti and 660.   The Corsair CX 600 PSU is an excellent choice.

 

PS<> that circa 2011 computer is way out of warranty.   (only had a 1 year warranty).

This system is feedback driven thru Solution and Kudo flags. It's the only means of knowing if you have been served. Please click Accept as Solution, if your problem is solved. To say THANK YOU, press the "thumbs up symbol" to render a KUDO. You can render both Solution and KUDO..
