Upgrading computer.

[Maple Leaf Games]

Hey guys I have an HP envy 700-074 which is a standard not a gaming PC. It works fine but when it comes to games like COD GTA games I want to buy and play but my friends tell me I need a better graphics card. Is that all I need?

You'll have to find out if your Powersupply has a 6 Pin Video card connector or a 8 Pin Connector, if it doesn't don't expect to be maxing out every game.

Your rig right now is good! You just need a new Power supply and video card, upgrade them both, and you have a great gaming rig, and possibly a 4K gaming rig, but since it's a dual core processor... you may have a bit of a hick up.

(Your current video card right now is Integrated Graphics Intel HD 4600, which is good for Lite gaming, like Mobas ect.

Best Of Luck!

Would you happen to know any good video cards that would work on my PC?

Basically any Video card that doesn't require extra power from the Power supply via an Adapter. So if you see one without an adapter, then it'll work. I'd recommend checking out the R7/R9 Series Video cards if your cautious about Money, but if your not, check out the GTX 900 Series.

Installing it, is just like putting it into the PCI Express Slot, it slides in, and locks in. The best place would be NewEgg, or Amazon.
