Well i'm looking to upgrade my desktop which is an Asus Essintino CG 1330. I mostly uses this pc for gaming and for video and photo editing. I really want to be able to play most games at max such as BF3 and skyrim and i really only want to spend around 200-300$.The specs on the pc are
Processor - AMD Phenom II X6 1035T 2.60 GHz
RAM - 8.00 GB
HDD - 1TB

In order to put a video card that will handle BF3 ( Nvidia themselves recommends a GTX 560 ti at bare minimum ), you'd need to upgrade the power supply and possibly the case without a doubt since it's insufficient for the GTX 560 ti alone. The video card its-self will run you a good $200 + you have taxes and costs for a new power supply that will fit ( I know that some cases are super small and only accommodate custom PSU's. You'd honestly be better off with a fresh build. An SSD would help with video editing and loading times but in order to do that you'd need to do a fresh Windows install but you can't since Asus already booted the PC with the OEM disc.
