I am new here and need to ask an important question. It may have been partially answered but I don't think the whole question has been answered so here goes:
I have the HP H8 1234 Desktop PC and love it, for the most part. I play World of Tank on it and of course it has the ATI Radeon 7450 1GIG DDR3 Graphics Card along with a 300 wat power supply unit. These 2 items limit my abilities to play this game and a few others such as World of War Planes and War Thunder, both of which are a bit more graphics intensive than World of Tanks. While this card is an improvement over what I had, it just doesn't cut it.
I need to know what power supply unit(s) will drop right in and what ATI Radeon Graphics Cards will drop right in without causing any problems with over heating and such. Of course I want to get as much bang for the buck but also need to go as cheap as possible too. I don't believe that I need anything above a 500 watt power supply and would actually like to get to a 2 gig graphics card but will settle for a 1 gig, if it will out perform what I now have.
I am currently running about 35FPS on World of Tank at minimum settings along with having to use Game Booster just to achieve that. World of War Planes and War Thunder I run from 5 FPS to 20 FPS, depending on the map we play on. I have not had any issues with over heating and do not want to go there now but also need information of better cooling, if the card and power supply will cause any issues.
I thank you in advance for any and all advice and assistance you can give.
