I recently purchased a slightly used Gateway GT5644E and happy with most of the specs aside from the graphics card. I am looking to upgrade to a more gaming friendly card but I am in college so I don't need anything over the top to suit my needs. I play online games that require minor graphics but would like to be able to play games like Battlefield 2 and F.E.A.R. and have them look decent.
I can't afford more than $100-140 and I need to know if I upgrade the card if I will need to upgrade the power supply as well since it is only a 300W.
I was also wondering if I purchased a new card if anyone could walk me through the steps to upgrading it because I have never upgraded a PC before and have slightly above average PC knowledge.
Thanks in advance for any help.
