overclocking
removing dust

but seriously
you could buy a 2gb gddr5 gt 740 for $80
1gb 750 for $100
2gb 750 ti for $130

and they only need a pci-e port

those are minimum

those cards both can achieve 60fps on med-high 720p.

HP Pavilion h8-1234
Hex-Core Processor
10 GB RAM

Search up the PC, which is an HP Pavilion h8-1234. That's exactly what I have, no customized parts or hardware at all.

@madd

ok ignore what ros is saying

overclocking is basically "free performance" but you need to tweak your card a bit in order to get that free performance.

and @ros "overclocking" isn't limited by the psu, it's limited by the gpu capabilities.

and dust on your 7450 shouldn't affect performance too much, because it doesn't have that new technology in "thermal throttling" when your gpu gets too hot the gpu will go slower to prevent itself from over-heating <---typically in newer cards then older ones.

@madd (again)
i'm not saying this offensively or anything, but it doesn't seem like you're a technical person, so I don't suggest you tweak your card.

but if you want, just take off some dust out of your case with a vacuum to help with the temps.

alternatively you can lower the graphics settings as that is a pretty weak card.

overclocking can partially be due to the psu ability

using more wattage homie j

it doesn't use much more

but when you're tipping that ice berg

if you're running a gpu, it's likley you have a psu that is able to support that 200+ watt monster (well 7450 isn't a monster or power-hungry) but my point is overclocking just uses 10% (generally) power usage, and if you have a 200Watt GPU that's going to be 220 which still should be safe for your psu

alright let say
you bought a ten dollar psu
it says it's 500 watt but in reality, it's not really 500watt
there are components called 12v, 5v and 3v rails inside the psu (i.e 12v = 421 5v = 52 etc)
if they're made with cheap components they have a great chance of blowing up or frying your other components
never cheap out anything

@ayo

yes, all PSUs have peak effeincy, but you don't get what I'm saying, that PSU would blow up (not litterly) but it would if you put a 200+watt GPU plus other components.

IF IT can HANDLE 200watts, it can handle an adtional 20 watts (220watta$.

basically what ayo said
if it's a prebuilt with that weak of a gpu
there's a chance it may not use it's full "advertised" amount of power
