    Budget? Why do you want to make it a faster machine? Gaming? Media editing?

    What games?

    What kind of hardware is in that system? We have to get parts that are suitable, and that don't draw too much power (how powerful is you power supply?). Honestly with a store bought system, generally the best thing to do is buy a whole new one, given their limited upgrade capabilities. Although this depends in your needs.

    I'm reading this on an iPhone; a quick read indicates an i5 and 8GB of RAM, both plenty suitable for gaming.

    All you need is a graphics card and you're good to go - I can't find the specs of the PSU, though, and amn't too much of an expert, so ill leave others to help you out here. I think giving a budget would help out, your posts contain minimally vague information.

    That's absolutely plenty for just one part. Wait for others to chime in with suggestions. You might have to go for a lower end card if the PSU is limiting you, but that will be cheaper anyways.
