I have an acer t180 and im wondering what graphics card and cpu will fit straight in without having to play around with the PSU. The PSU is 250w.

Its just for general gaming like WoW so i don't need or want nothing major but im a little stuck on what to get. Cheaper is better for me as im running low on funds so any help is appreciated. :)

well the only even ok graphics card you will be ablse to run with that psu is the radeon HD 7750 as it requires no external power from the psu. It's not a great card, but not bad either. They run $75.00-100.00

Agree with the 7750. As far as cpu goes, see this THG thread: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/263159-28-what-acer-aspire-t180

That would be abit too costly for me to be honest, would be looking for something cheaper (I sound cheap haha). Ive been looking for a list of low profile cards but can't really find any.

Markwp, thanks for the link to the post :)
 


No problem. If you really want to look at budget cards, try here: http://www.outletpc.com/video-cards-pci-e-video-cards.html I've used these guys before (used to live in Vegas) and they are great to deal with and generally have new in box but older tech available.
