I am poor, I only have a laptop but I would like to game.
amd a8-6410 2.0(2.4)ghz quad core
4 gig ram
shit 512 integrated graphics
if I got a mini pci-e external gpu adapter and upgraded to 8gig ram what video card would be best with said spec? I figure the cpu will bottleneck, maybe a 750ti or is even that overkill? What kinds of games could I run?
self paying for school with McWages so the cheaper the better.
See how expensive a gtx660 is now. You can run pretty damn intensive games with it. Definitely all source games maxed, games like hitman maxed, games around the new wolfenstein will start to lag on max.

I think that is a bit much. thank you though
my price range is about $100 or as close to. should have stated earlier. my friend just suggested an amd r9 270. is that any good?
>>16686
The 660ti goes for about $100 right now, should be perfect for what you need. Afaik the r9 270 should also work, but I'm less sure of AMD.

thank you! I have only used NVidia before so I will probably go that route

660 confirmed!

ended up pulling the trigger on the r9 270. found one for $90 after a rebate. Dug a little and found a max power consumption of 270-280w would a 300w power supply be cutting it too close?
