GTA IV & my PC

[SammyE]

I received GTA, but it is incredibly slow, and there's no textures and it's pretty much blue, since there's no textures.

My spec are as follows; http://i39.tinypic.com/20u30if.png (CLICK TO VIEW)
This also tells me what I need, but I don't know what will be useful for my PC.

Could someone guide me on to improving performance?

I have a Packard Bell IMEDIA D2315 AIO (http://support.packardbell.com/uk/it...0135601&g=1400)

I don't know what graphics card to get, is it integrated (or not) or the type of motherboard, so could someone help me please?

Thanks a lot!

your video card is integrated card, and it's not capable at all to play GTA IV, to play GTA IV you need to get a dedicated Video Card
if you want to do that, I think your PSU (Power Supply Unit) need to be changed as well, please comfirm what is your PSU
open up your PC side case and look at the Stickers on your PSU, we need the Wattage (W) and the Amps (A) under the +12V (it should be in the DC Output area if you can find it)

you gave me the Input
I need the Output
the Watts (W) and the Amps (A) under the "+12V"
search for +12V on the PSU and you can find it, under it there is an AMPS (A) value I need that
also don't forget the Wattage (W) (eg:450 W, 600 W, etc....)

your PSU is way to low for a PCIe video Card
if you want to get a Video Card that plays GTA IV well, just let me know and I'll guide you to a good Video Card and a good PSU
but I need to know first what is your Budget?

Yes please, since I'm a student mainly less than £50.

You'd be better off waiting and saving up more for an upgrade later.
Your budget to buy both a new GPU and PSU is about the same price as the game itself - just not doable. At the very least you would need to double your budget.
Computers are an expensive hobby.
The best GPU you'll find for about £20 would be something like the Nvidia 7200.
That's not a great card - I'd be surprised if it even ran the game. Even so - it doesn't leave nearly enough for a trustworthy PSU.

You'll need to save up around £75 for a trustworthy PSU alone.
