Hey, I have a Dell Inspiron 530 desktop, and I want to upgrade the Graphics Card and the Memory. I'm not looking for a specific price range, just wondering what will actually work in my computer. Here is a copy of my DxDiag log:

I'm hoping to upgrade my graphics and memory to a point where I can run Runescape with 20-25+ FPS all the time. I'm currently getting about 10-15, so I'm guessing 4GB RAM and any graphics card that isn't onboard will get me there.

If anyone has any recommendations, please let me know. Afaik, I have a 300W psu, so I don't think I can upgrade the GFX too much. Thanks guys!
 
Well, you could toss a gpu for under $100 in, possibly upgrade the power supply, and it would play RS very nicely..

extra RAM wouldn't hurt either.

Even upgrading the proc wouldn't be too expensive.

best one for your mobo price wise.

Yeah, I thought about that too. but the only thing is I don't wanna spend too much, I was just looking to do a quick GPU/RAM upgrade to hold me over til I can buy a nice custom gaming PC in about 6-8 months. Any gpu's you'd recommend? I can find ram easily as it's just checking what type it takes, but I'm not sure on which gpu would work in my computer.
 
5670/6670 IMO don't require any PSU power(only draws from the mobos pci-e slot for power) and would play it fine.
 
I wouldn't even drip cash upgrading that I'd save it to get a new rig faster
