    Hi I'm wanting to get into pc gaming and was wondering if my current hp rig is good enough if I buy a decent video card. Im running an AMD Phenom II X4 945 processor @ 3.0Ghz, 8 GB Ram, on Win 8 x64 my current vid card is an old ATI Radeon HD 5450, so I'm wondering if I snag a good deal during black friday for a new video card if my current system stats are good enough for pc gaming? Thanks in advance for your opinions and recommendations.

    not even 24hrs between posts. people do have jobs & lives to live besides being on this site. depends on the games system requirements on whether your system will play them. not all games have same requirements.

    I think a gpu upgrade will be enough the cpu will be fine and they say the sweet spot is 8gb of ram for gaming so your ok for ram.
