Hi all,

Was just looking on a website that sells parts for PC's for doing a little ram upgrade. At the moment I have 6GB of Ram but could go to 8GB for not a whole lot of money (€60). Is it worth it?

My second question is about video cards. I've been playing alot on my PC lately. I bought my PC for basic internet stuff. First game on PC that I tried was F1 2012 and I was suprised how well it ran on medium settings. I have many current gen (ps3/xbox360) that run perfectly fine on my PC and I love it. What I really wan't to get into are PC racing sims, but most of them run really bad:( Really don't get it because othere games look awesome (skyrim, F1 2013, Arkham City, Grid 2) and run perfect on medium (skyrim runs great on high even) While Rfactor 2 and Simraceway run horrible.

The videocard in my PC is a Radeon HD 7450. I've seen a few cards that are around € 80 and I was wondering if they would make a worthy difference. I'm not trying to build a super PC and I'm happy with running my games @ medium. But an upgrade for a low price? Why not? Right?
The first card I've seen is a Sapphire Radeon R7, 240 4gb and a MSI Geforce GT 630 4gb (cheaper). Will any of these to make a worthy difference?
 
Extra RAM won't make too much of a difference. What CPU do you have?

A CPU upgrade might be good then. Although if you're not great with computers that could be a little tricky.

Definitely upgrade the GPU, but pay a little more and get something like a GTX650ti or GTX660.

You won't see much of a performance improvement if you get an R7 240
