Some hardware give you the option of OC easily by configurating it with the software they give you to pop into your pc.

Anyway, if you're OC manually, I highly suggest you don't, because a person that is new at OC will probably mess it up and destroy a perfectly fine piece of hardware.

From what I see, a lot of members in ONRPG are very tech hadicapped, more than 75% of the people that have problem with a certain game most of the time play with an onboard graphic card, which is 99% of the time not made for video gaming or playing high end game. On board graphic processors are for watching videos and pictures, that's all it was intended for. >.>

I can guarantee you that more than 50% of the people here that claim they have a good pc is actually running either a weak pc or a strong one with a crappy graphic card. They think just because they can go out there and buy a pc with quad core and 6 gigs of RAM will make them own a good computer, but no, because they are still playing wtih an integrated graphic card, which mean lower game performance and limitating them to cheap F2P game or some older game that don't demand a lot of power.

From what I see, the OP is packing a very weak power source too, so when upgrading your graphic card you will need to check the wattage of your power supply, since most good graphic card will require 400 up to 600 watts. From what i see, 99% of pc with an onboard graphic processor tend to have a weak power source, since the onbaord card doesn't require much power to run good.

My suggestion is to aim for an Nvidea GeForce card, don't go for Radeon since I've personally experience a lot of trouble with ATI's cards, and seen much better performance and durability on Nvidea cards. I'd recommend getting a 8800 or 9800 from XFX, EVGA or BFGtech.

Also, if you're buying hardwares, don't go to bestbuy or target, or any retailers. They charge you a lot more sometimes, look online first always before you decide to go and buy them from store shelf, then you can compare price.

www.newegg.com <<<<<<<< BEST site, hand down, for your pc stuff, i've hard very good experiences with newegg, do your online shopping there.
