So here are the details. This is a new rig, but it came with a sub-par video card (go figure since it was DESIGNED and sold as a gaming PC.....hubby did his best (*pat's husband on head reminiscent of Benny Hill*).
Specs:
AMD FX-Series/Processor speed: 3.6Ghz
8GB DDR3 SDRAM
Hard drive 1Tb
case is large gaming size with enough room for another fan, but cooling hasn't been a factor; size, placement and decent fan seem to be keeping it cool.
The current card works, but is as stated, sub-par. AMD HD 6450 1gb memory
I looked at reviews when I saw that it had no HDMI hookup (I have a new 1080p 27 inch monitor). I also had to scale everything back to play DA2 (works perfectly with DAO). The reviews were....ummm....less than kind. This card was never really meant for gaming (but they put it in a gaming pc...meh). So I am looking to spend somewhere between $200 and $275 for a card. And yes; I have been looking at the ATI cards, for the very reasons you stated.
*EDIT*
