I'm not going to sugercoat it, i am not great with building computers, I have tried a bunch of different sites, and I have no idea if the things i am considering buying will even work with my computer.
This is my current computer: Newegg.com - iBUYPOWER Gamer Power 567D3 Desktop PC Phenom II X4 925(2.8GHz) 4GB DDR3 1TB HDD Capacity ATI Radeon HD 5570 Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
I'm looking to get as much bang for my buck as I can to add a few decent upgrades to it, my price point is around $200 max.
I was hearing great things about the video card Newegg.com - EVGA 01G-P3-1556-KR GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Fermi) FPB 1GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card, but I have no idea if my computer can even support it, or if it would even fit, (I told you I was bad at this). From what I understand one of the biggest things that needs to be upgraded for the computer I have is the relatively old Video Card and the power supply, If anyone can offer any better suggestions, or suggest what parts would be great, I would very much appreciate it.
I currently just use it for Starcraft 2, and run SC2 on 60 FPS med setting 30 FPS high settings, I am mainly interested in buffing it up for the holiday season, once again, thank you for any assistance, and sorry for being so computer illiterate.
