[QUOTE="spitfyre, post: 1477022, member: 426345"] [b]What would be a good graphics card for installing a Blu-Ray writer, & mild gaming?[/b] I Got an HP Desktop equipped as follows: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000 - 3.0 GHZ Integrated graphics card - Geforce 6150SE nForce 430 with TV Tuner 3 GB RAM memory 500 GB hard drive Window Vista 32 Bit Operating System Everything is totally stock. Was thinking about adding a Blu-Ray writer in the expansion bay underneath the current DVD multi-drive, and was wondering if I need a SATA drive or a IDE drive? Also do I need to update the factory graphics card, add more memory, and add a bigger power supply as well for this? If so what would be good models or brands? I'm trying to stay under $200 as far as the graphics card goes, so as to save towards to Writer. Was worried about modifying this computer in any way that eventually would lead to problems in the future. All I do now is check & send e-mail, store music, burn some DVD's, and may start to do some mild gaming in the future as well. Would appreciate any type of suggestions or info! Thanks! [/QUOTE]
