msave to actually buy a real pc fuck
Good idea
If you're just looking for a quick and easy upgrade buying a graphics card would be a step up from integrated graphics. I wouldn't spend more than $150 though. Your best bet for a real upgrade is to save up another 400 bucks and build a new pc.

well its probably on some ass matx mobo that could only fit low profile card and i doubt anythign decent that he could buy wouldnt get bottlenecked by his cpu
seriously save up and spend a good 700 on a system u build urself and ull get way more out of any upgrades thbat u could ever do to this
It has a PCIe x16 port and the case is a mid tower. I'd imagine most mid-low end gpus would fit and would beat the shit out of his motherboard's integrated graphics. Obviously it'll still be sorta a junk desktop but if he's just looking for something to game on and doesn't have a ton of money its an option.
I'll just save up some more money to build my own PC, that's probably a better idea in the long run
Thanks
The Phenom X4 will easily run TF2 at decent framerates with a new mid-range GPU. The only problem is that your 250W PSU will prevent you from being able to power any new video card you might purchase. So in the end, the best advice really is to get a new machine.
What I did when I bought my first computer is upgraded the graphics card and power supply to support the card. That rounded out to be like 300$ or so I believe.
