Can your processor support that?

Thats a pretty serious graphics card.

Edit Just looked at the specs and your processor should be ok but your gonna be running it at full potential.

What are you intending to do with this pc? Are you gonna game with it?

Thanks for the offer, man. I'd like to go with something that has HDMI connectivity though.

I haven't been running any games yet but I've been thinking about trying some games. That is, if I were able to make the necessary upgrades and have a capable system for them to run properly.

Would this processor be a good choice or is it still on the weak side?

All this trying to upgrade with what I have just makes me want to start from scratch.
