Well I was playing bo2 and I was getting pretty high cpu usage. Is that normal with this gpu? Is it that my graphics card is not as good?

Define "pretty high." Black Ops is both CPU and GPU dependent, but it's still not very demanding at all. What is your other hardware? I can guarantee you that your CPU is not holding you back even a little.

I was getting around 50 to 75 percent. Since you said it was a good processer should I look into a new graphic card? I also will need to upgrade my power supply.

That usage is normal considering how Call of Duty behaves. Don't worry about it.

What are your current parts? I can't suggest anything until I know what you have. I strongly doubt you'll actually need to upgrade for any CoD game.

What part do you want to know I have? I know I have that processor and a radeon 7750 8 gb ddr3. 500 w power supply and I don't remember what the hard drive speed is.

That's almost enough, all I need is the actual model number of the PSU. Not all 500w units are created equal. The 7750 is certainly the weak link in this system, though. I also need to know how much you want to spend on your upgrade and perhaps what case you have.

I can send you the link to the pc I bought will that be ok for the case but I don't think it shows the psu number. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

It'll do. The one Newegg review for this mentions a catastrophic PSU failure that destroyed the rest of the hardware, so the fact that this happened shows that you more than likely need a new unit. This is why we don't buy prebuilts. What's your budget for the upgrade?

400 500 usd. When you said unit you were talking about the psu right?

Yes, PSU stands for Power Supply Unit. $400 is a big number for a PSU and graphics upgrade, so what games do you want to play? You could easily max nearly every game out there for $360 between the PSU and card.

Is the psu watage high enough? Do you think it will fit snugly in my case?

I would like to play black ops 2 and other war games. Will the watage on that psu high enough and would it fit in my case snugly?

When you say "other war games," you could mean extremely demanding titles like the Crysis series, Metro 2033, BF3, Far Cry 3, etc. If you do mean those, then what I linked is perfect. However, it's ridiculously overkill for games like CoD, L4D, CS:S, TF2, etc. You'll want to spend less if you can. And yes, the PSU will fit fine. It's just standard-length ATX.

What setings could I play far cry 3 bf3 and the cyrisis series?
