I have a HP Pavilion Desktop P7-1232 Intel Core i5 3450 8GB.
Not a huge gamer but i would like the option to play overwatch or pub G occasionally
My fan makes a funny noise from time to time so im assuming its going out.
I was thinking a new graphics card, and im guessing i would need a new power supply.

CAn anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Yep, you need a new power supply too.

You MIGHT be able to run this vid card, with the power supply you have now....maybe.

But in all honesty, to run Overwatch or PubG, you will pretty much need a new computer.

Overwatch should be fine on that pc with a new gpu.
Pubg will struggle (very poorly optimized game), will need new cpu + gpu so a new comp

$600-$700 could build a surprisingly decent pc

Yeah, I can read the game requirements too. But thanks anyways.

maybe you should learn many people are playing with descent fps and lower performing hardware

Hmm walmart is selling the hp 580-023t on black friday for 500 seems like a decent deal. Would that pc play those games well?

If you insist on a prebuilt, I would look for one with an i7 and a GTX 1060.



Or just get the GTX 1050 Ti for your current computer. Just realize that you won't be playing those games on high settings.

Is that the one with 1060 3gb?

looks like CosmoKush gave up

oh well
