I've been a happy SH4 player for quite some time with my home PC setup. I'm normally a Mac guy at work so PC are a touch foreign to me.

I'm using an HP i7 with 6 gig dram, big enough hard drive and benchmarks are in the 7's on the HP test sequence.

Downside is motherboard video with modest benchmarks. SH5 is a mess, I can get the resolution on this 23 in monitor, but as you can imagine the frame rate is terrible. The only way to get smooth action is to turn most everything off. I tried the mouse tweek but its still choppy.

My problem is the case is a low form factor type, though bigger than most low form factors with plenty of airspace in chassis.

Standard card will not fit.

As video cards are moving targets (pricewise and specwise), what would be a recommendation in mid year 2014. BTW dont want to spend big bucks, I'm not into playing the latest twitch game.

thanks for any help in advance
