I would get a new graphics card. I'm no expert on everything, but look at 6800 and above series radeon cards.
Alright I need some help with my graphics stuff. I have a Radeon 6755g2, it has a shared memory card and a dedicated card.  I did some problem solving by disabling the shared card and I found out my dedicated memory card doesn't have any drivers, and I've tried installing new ones but I'm not experienced at all with installing them. It just re-enables the bad card and I can't use the better one at all, drivers still aren't there.
I've tried updating them with amd applications as well as using the device manager. Device manager says that it's up to date when it isn't.
Can anyone help?

Ethan, on your OP the CPU and Case are no available anymore on the $300 and $400 build.

Also, how can I run Arma 2 smoothly on singleplayer but run like stuff on multiplayer?

The Arma 2 multiplayer is unoptimized and blows richard.

Also, yeah. I need a $300 - $400 build.
