Two years ago I purchased a desktop fro PC Specialist which has served me extremely well.
However I am thinking of upgrading the GFX card and possibly the RAM (If required) and I throw myself at the mercy of you the members of this forum in asking for help. This PC is used generally for gaming, but doesnt need anything too hardcore as it currently seems to manage most new games very well. My budget would be approx £200 - £300 but would like to keep the price down as much as possible!
My current spec is as below. Would anyone be able to offer some insight as to the best way forward?
