His current GT 430, how do I overclock it (I know how to overclock, just curious which program). Is it worth overclocking his card?
He wants to play CS: GO and possibly a little D3.
He spent $51 USD (including CA tax, but he still has a $10 MIR to use) for his current GT 430, and I was wondering...
If I should buy him a new case, so he can fit a better GPU in his system?
Is it worth over-clocking a GPU that doesn't have a PSU connection? I only ask, because I can presume the GPU is not really a "gaming" GPU.

how does he only have 6.5" of room? even an ITX board is 6.7"
if he really only has that much room powercolor makes a HD7770 card thats 6.7" if he can squeeze it

that gt430 is really a bottom of the barrel card. it probably wont play D3.
