I have an awesome computer but a crappy video card

bought this pc about 5 months ago for 1 grand with monitor 23 inches wide full hd included.
I don’t know if it was worth the price with the video card as for the power supply.
Misc send me some recommendations for a video card which gives me the bang for the buck.
Also I noticed the system runs some modern games like ****, I was thinking this was caused either by the video card or the 64bit processor.. Can anyone clear this up for me? here is a report.

edit-- also the system is I think a dell studio xps.

The report goes further in depth I just selected what I deemed important, let me know if you need more statistics.. Thanks

The video card looks like a integrated chip and integrated GPU’s are not exactly performance beasts. Go for a Radeon 57xx or a Radeon 58xx.

As to 64-bit CPUs - that will not slow your machine down. It will run just as fast as a 32-bit CPU with the exception that you will have the possibility to use a 64-bit operating system allowing to use 64-bit native applications and install more than 4GB of RAM. In short: 64 bit is 32 bit with additional potential :smiley: .

Can’t really comment on your PSU, though - the specs for that have to be looked up from within the computer case itself.
