Solve : Suggestions for gaming computer components??

Answer»

So Black Friday is coming up and I want to upgrade my computer to be able to basically play Skyrim at high quality at a SMOOTH 50+ fps, while right now it's averaged about 15 fps. I had a PREVIOUS topic that told me that my gpu needed upgrading and my power supply if I want a really good gpu. I'm not really sure what my gpu is what because no matter where I check it just says Intel HD Graphics. My power supply is 300W and my computer is just a basic inspiron 3000 series.

Any suggestions on what gpu I should get and what power supply? I'm willing to spend up $300 for both, taking into account any sales I COULD get on the parts.What CPU do you currently have and what does your machine have in the way of case fans?  Most importantly does it have an intake fan or at least a place to put one?

Without upgrading your power supply, you could RUN a GeForce 750ti, this would also be fine without an intake fan.

A better video card would be a GeForce 760 however this would REQUIRE some sort of case cooling (at least an intake and exhaust fan) and a power supply upgrade.  Assuming the case cooling can be sorted, a power supply such as this would be ideal: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207030&cm_re=xfx_550w-_-17-207-030-_-Product.My processor is an Intel(R) Core i3-2340 CPU 3.40 GHz
I'm not entirely sure which fan would be which but this is what I have as far as inside my computer.

I can't see a space for a front fan and if I'm honest it's probably not worth spending all that money to get a 760+PSU on that PC.  Something like a 750ti would be ideal as it will work with your current PSU as it is.  Just check benchmarks for the games you want to play to ensure that it is powerful enough for what you want to do.
