| 1GB, pretty good, but you may want to upgrade for more graphics-heavy games. |

| Yeah, but that freezing probably isn't your graphics so much as your RAM. |

you don't really need more than a 1GB card unless you are playing at a high resolution with max AA/Anisotropic Filtering
7770 is an alright card, but not very great
6850 probably would have been a better choice, but they're both fine for gaming

| before considering an upgrade i would use a monitoring program to check if the video card is really what needs an upgrade the most |

Yeah, not too hard to install either. Just gotta open it up and put it in the right place. Though it will void all warranties since opening it is considered "modifying", so if it breaks, it's on your part.

Upgrading your processor is probably harder. I'll look up how if you want though.

@meldo
It said that I could not run L4D2 on my old pc, yet I did so at max.
so yeah, not very accurate.
it gives a "general" idea, but you shouldn't rely on it. |

There's an article on wikiHow if you want to find out yourself.

You may also need a new heat sink, thermal paste, and to upgrade your motherboard's BIOS.

Yeah, I think Athlon 64 x2 dual core is made for office work. Though it is 64-bit.
