The main purpose to change is to make a PC more suitable for gaming, i wanted to play games on it. So does anyone know that what kind of motherboard is been installed and does that motherboard with the graphics card and power supply. So guys please help me and give me some suggestion for which one should i go. Thank you.

You can go for Retail Plus 600W ATX Power Supply (PS60-600W) which is better for system and for video card you can go for AMD Radeon HD A6450PE31G 1GB GDDR3 PCI-E, which will be best and you can get on bestbuy, so search and get it.

The motherboard which is been used is been custom made by HP and you will not able to get in any of retail store. The power supply which above user have told may fit system, but can't tell properly without having dimension of it and AMD Radeon HD A6450PE31G 1GB GDDR3 PCI-E graphics card is not for gaming at all. If you go for it then you will not happy at all. I would suggest that you go for Corsair CX500 and CX600, i can't tell you about graphics card as i do not play so which will be best for you.

I also know that MD Radeon HD A6450PE31G 1GB GDDR3 PCI-E is not at good for gaming, if i go for it then it will be much better then AMD Radeon HD 4200 and it might a bigger upgrade then it is.

The above mentioned video card and power supply unit should work properly. If you thinking to play all the latest games then would tell that you go for XFX, BFG, EVGA, Sapphire and PNY video cards which will be best for all new game. If you go for any of those card then try to purchase 9" in length card. Below is one suggestion for video card and power supply unit which might be useful and best for gaming. I have gone through review of Video card and those people have commented who have installed it and they have simply love it. So for gaming it needs clean and stable power. So for that Corsair and OCZ will be the best and made for gaming purpose. both of them provide better power for gaming.

I would suggest that you go for Radeon HD A6450PE31G and also you go for the Retail Plus 600W ATX Power Supply (PS60-600W) both will be the best and also proper for you.
