I was also told to submit this information:
1. My power supply has 230 volts (sticker where the power chord goes in)
2. I don't want to open my computer since I never have and I don't really have experience with this sort of thing but there's an air vent near the place where the graphics card goes and from there I can tell there's an empty space which looks to be above my current graphics card which I think could fit another one.
3. My budget is around $500
Thanks to "bloody hair" for helping me with these questions :)

3 AnswersDesktops9 years agoWhat gaming laptop should i get?
I'm just about to buy one of these laptops and was wondering what one of these would be the better option and if spending another $700 on the more expensive one is worth it. I'd also like to know what the differences are.
Less expensive option:

Thanks for the help.
2 AnswersLaptops & Notebooks9 years agoIs my computer good for gaming and good enough to run BF3 on high+ settings?
Around 5 months ago, I bought this pre-made computer and was wondering what I would need to run Battlefield 3 on high/ultra or what I would need to make the computer better or up to standard with today's new games. I ran a test on system requirements and all I needed was a new graphics card but I'm not sure If my computer accepts new ones. Here are my specs:
