I have included a link for all the specs on the computer. I know the psu will need to be upgraded and have already found a 500w that will fit into the case. My problem is what graphics card can i get that will be compatible with the other components? I don't need anything really special. Thinking something in the radeon 6k or 7k range though. I want to stay with AMD/ATI products. The comp is now 3 years old and has given no problems so far. Just want to spruce it up a bit for some of the games the family plays on it.

Also, how do i know if i need a card with pci express x16 2.0 or 3.0? Neither the motherboard specs or comp specs says which one is compatible

what psu brand did you choose?

id say any 7770/650 gpu would be fine...an argument can be made for the 7850 though...anymore would bottle neck your cpu

I am going with the Corsair 500m/500. They offer good power and have same dimensions as current. I looked at the hd 7750 since i don't plan on running crossfire and only have 4g system memory.

I would suggest an HD 7770 or an HD 7750 DDR5 if you can't go over $100. You do NOT need a new PSU if you get the HD 7750 - that is the most power-efficient gaming card available. Plug it in and play :)
