Hello, I have an Acer Aspire X3810 PC, and I would like some help choosing a new graphics card as well as adding RAM to my PC. Currently, I have a Nvidia GeForce GT 320 as the graphics card. My motherboard is an ACER WG43M and the CPU name is Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5400 @ 2.70GHz. Thank you for helping me find what is compatible with my PC knowing that the PC case is small.

Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 33.0

    Hello
    Here is your PC.

    It's a mini tower and it's very narrow (10cm) and these PCs are like laptops, not very upgradeable.
    Also, the hardware configuration is old and obsolete.
    Do you have a GT 320 in this tower?

    I don't know how to install a GT 320 in the PC.

    Or you have this PC with a larger case.

    Open your case and see what's on the PCIe slot.
    It's the only one on the motherboard.
    And here is the GT 320, it cannot be installed in this case.

    I opened it and it says on the graphics card Nvida GeForce GT 320 1GB. What is the PCIe port, is it where the graphics card is plugged in?

      I am going to change my case because I think I need the space for a better power supply. On another site, they recommended a Zotac GTX 750 TI 2GB to replace my graphics card and an additional 4 GB of RAM of the same brand I currently have. Will changing this improve my computer's performance, along with the purchase of an HD screen?

    With this Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5400 processor, it's pointless to put in a GTX 750Ti; the graphics card will be bottlenecked by the processor.
    You need another case and another motherboard and more powerful hardware.
    Because I think you’re a gamer!

    so it will cost almost as much as buying a custom PC. And yes, I am a gamer. This increases the budget a lot now if I have to change the motherboard and the processor.

      Yes indeed! The best option is to buy a tower to be able to play.
      Because it’s pointless to change the graphics card and add RAM if that’s possible, on this motherboard with a 2-core office processor.
      It’s wasted money as there won't be much change in games.
      And you’ll need another case too.
      What's your budget?

      I think I can put 800 euros towards it, maybe a little more, to get a new screen depending on how much a custom one costs.

      Are you able to assemble a PC?
      Because it can save you quite a bit of money.

      I have a friend who can help me; I’ve already talked to him about it. We should be able to figure this out; we just need a case with the power supply already installed inside because it's a real mess in the apartment. The rest should work out fine.
