Turns out the Radeon HD 7850 is fine and it's google chrome that is issue. Anyways I got two paths to play Doom 4. 1) Buy a second Radeon HD 7850 used for $70 2) Buy a new card and sell off Radeon HD 7850. Someone has got a used GTX 780 for $150, which isn't much more then a GTX 950 or GTX 960. Should be able to fit one 12' video card in, by removing Upper SSD/HDD Caddy. There is a 3.5 external bay too, not sure if I can remove without having to remove the guts first. One of my concerns is ventilation, I have one 120mm fan near motherboard. Planning to add a front 120mm fan later on, once I order the long case fan screws. Side fans are worthless since 120mm would not be strong enough due to physics. (Top, Front or Back would be ideal spots). The top fan slots are too close to motherboard to mount, unless mounting on an angle. So basically the case maxes out at two 120mm fans. If ventilation is major issue then I might consider a HAF series case, Cube shaped cases ect. I would prefer a case with fewer larger fans (140-230mm) vs many 120mm fans. It all depends if the Ostrog case will not turn into a steam room with two cards or one higher end one.

So i'm using and older graphics card, the ATI Radeon HD 6770 ( http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2389466,00.asp ), and I can pump out Battlefield 4 at medium graphics with about 35 FPS, and I am wondering about cheap replacements that can get me to ultra, or at least a way to modify my current card to work harder (Overclock?). Any suggestions on what I could do to get better FPS, especially when running Bandicam. If I got better frames I would always be recording. My processor and RAM are just fine (AMD Phenom II X4 965 and 12gb RAM). (Uses less than 50% of processor)
