this is rather low in terms of requirements to run games well today. it will run minecraft, league of legends, and a ton of indie games with no problem if thats all youre looking to play.

if you are looking to upgrade, if you had a budget in mind, i would be happy to help you design a new machine.

You should ask sellers what is good Motherboard to use with that components and maybe you should ask about how much you will able to upgrade on it in the future. :)

You will also want to step up the PSU to a decent sized one. My latest graphics card under full load draws 375 watts itself. Not sure what the Nvidea cards draw but 450 watt will not cover your machine. I would recommend you look at a 900 watt gold at the minimum.

a 600 watt power supply will be adequate for ALL single GPU graphics cards. getting a 900 watt is just going to cost needless money.

just because the box says requires a 500w power supply, doesnt mean that the card is drawing 500w.

Personally I run 2 980's in SLI plus a bunch of other stuff. At idle i'm at 150 watts and at full load i'm in the neighborhood of 400 something watts
