What powersuplly you got?

Parts to upgrade

*Processor
*Video Card
*Power supply depending on which one you've got.


EDIT: You'll also need to check the dimensions of your case to see if the graphics card will fit.

Basiacally what SLI said,

Make sure you buy a good PSU and a beasty GPU
That might last you for a good year or so

My computer is called the HP Envy 700-147c, I don't really know alot about computers, so I don't know the powersupply. If I wanted to switch to intel, would I have to get a new motherboard?

Yes you would have to swap the motherboard. And you might as well get the XFX 550w as most prebuilts have Crappy Power supplys anyway. Your basically gonna be buiulding a PC. I would recommend just Building a new one but keeping the ram,dvd drive,Harddrive assuming its compatible of course.

What SLI just said. It will be cheaper, easier and better to build your own PC than to get a pre built and upgrade it.

Yup, if you're on a budget get an EVGA 500W but if you have that little bit more definitely get yourself an XFX 550W!

I think for the price you can't go wrong with one of the FX range (i.e FX-6300) as your processor isn't that great, and basically there is no point in 12GB of RAM unless you have the extra bit kicking about as 8GB runs all games fine, if you want the overkill get 16GB but imo just stick to 8GB and you'll be fine.
