Hey guys, I would appreciate help upgrading my GPU and CPU on my gateway DX4831-
After doing some research and reading a lot of threads on this site, I found this card to be good enough for my budget (~$100 or so )
http://www.amazon.com/VisionTek-Radeon-Express-Graphics-900503/dp/B007ADEPX8
I also read some where this was a good CPU (I want to stick within a (~$150-$200 budget, and was looking to upgrade to i7 or equivalent)

Will both of these work in my system? (I've read that the 7750 will be fine will my 300w PSU, but wanted to make sure it fits physically in there...)
Also not sure if anyone here plays Heroes of Might and Magic 6, but does the Radeon 7750 card work with that game? I can't find any info on those two together?
