Upgrading your graphics card causes your CPU to implode or melt or something?
Rubbish.
At worst, it will move the bottleneck of performance from the graphics card to the CPU, but it wont wreck it.
Fair point that the Power Supply Unit may not be up to the task, but even if it isnt, this can be replaced for about £13 for a decent one.
Compared with how much.... £400 for a decent PC?!?!?
Sorry, but in my experience (and I repair PCs as part of my job) that just isnt what I would do at all.
Top expense = £50 vid card + £13 PSU (if needed). Job done.
