Intel G630 GPU Upgrade Path [solved]
Intel G630 GPU Upgrade Path for occasional gaming (diablo 2, stacraft: broodwar, left 4 dead 2), lots of internet browsing, minimal youtube, no facebook, and no facebook gaming.

i have this desktop computer running windows 8.1 pro with media center 64-bit.
- intel pentium g630, stock heat sink and fan
- ecs h61h2-m12
- 2x2gb ddr3-1600 gskill ripjaws
- lg monitor, 1600x900 resolution
- thermaltake smart 630w
- generic keyboard, mouse, speakers
- no plan to upgrade monitor
- planning to buy seasonic psu (not yet available at local store)

is nvidia gtx 750 (or amd equivalent) the best budget video card for me? (suggested by friend)

amd r7 270x and lower models are available at a nearby computer parts store.

for cpu upgrades
g630 is a 2ng geen i series cpu
http://ark.intel.com/products/53483/Intel-Pentium-Processor-G630-3M-Cache-2_70-GHz

you can upgrade to an i5 3570 or i7 3770
or any i5/i7 2xxx-3xxx 1155 cpu

for gpu upgrades, gtx 750ti is a good budget low power card

if you want something better, r9 270x

thanks.
no i'm not upgrading my processor.
i'll get nvidia gtx 750 (around 7,000 pesos) as it costs less than the amd r9 270x (more than 10,000 pesos)
