This one is kind of tough I think... If you upgrade the card, the cpu might neck you. If you upgrade the CPU, the graphics card is going to neck you.

I'd say save and get something like a 660ti or 670/AMD equivalent, and an 8350.

Someone else has probably got better advice.

If so you're overlooking the power supply.

I did.

/e even after I asked for it derp.

Get the 640 for now, upgrade the CPU/PSU/Card when you've got a bit more funds.

okay so, power supply needs to be higher. Just so its kinda clear. Im not a huge high performance graphics gamer etc.
I want to be able to at least play these games, not to have high graphics :)


It'll do that... I'd plan on upgrading soonish though... I think PoE is a demanding game when partied (spells n such), idk if they fixed that? I haven't played it in a while.
