If you have a good power supply then all you would need would be a good video card. Most likely you don't have a good power supply so just get a new one and a video card.

Any tips on a good video card? ><
Also will my shitty integrated video graphics be able to play any games at all?

Price range?

Also, I got the best tip of all! Buy a 2TB HDD and spend the 1TB to me.

Well it was on sale he got it for 500$ USD with monitor and a printer.

Not a bad deal, wish I had a deal like that, I get the monitor, my brother gets the computer for Aion.

Anyway, I meant price range for possible upgrade and most importantly country you're in..

A little over your budget, after rebate, but it's a pretty good deal. This is assuming you have a normal, non slim tower.

Well here is what the tower looks like:

Hmm expansion information:

EXPANSION SLOTS • 3 PCI Express x1 (two available)
• 1 PCI Express x16 (one available)

>< I don't know if this helps. And holy shit that card is huge! Dx
