I'm looking into upgrading my graphics card, I currently have a GeForce GT 640 and am curious if upgrading to the GeForce GTX 750 would be a worthwhile shift? Any advice and/or opinions are appreciated <3

It depends on the games that you want to play and the rest of your specs.

So if you can answer them questions, we can help you more.

Personally i would stack a bit more of the paper.

Then save up for something like a r9 270x if you are on a budget.

What are you using it for?

Your power supply might not support the new graphics card, so would you be able to get the PSU make and model? Also what is your case?And assuming this is a pre built, id scrap out the psu anyway as its probably a cheap one and can damage your other components.

The CPU is a outdated CPU and not a very well performing one.

Whats your motherboard also?

I agree with this man. I have a quadcore i5, and upgrading my graphics card increased my performance drastically in games. Your cpu is weak, and I would recommend upgrading it first if you're interested in gaming. Personally I think your ram is fine though
