If yes , here is the deal .

First , your PC is low profile , so you need low profile card , and your best pick is the AMD HD 7750 with GDDR5

your powersupply is TFX12V kind , check your WATT if it is 250 WATT then it is more than enough,

if not here is a 350 Watt power supply

seasonic GOLD 350 WATT

Well actually No, that is not my pc. My pc doesnt have a slim case like that one. My specs are
Intel core i5 3350p
4gb Ram
Nvidia gt 630 2gb ddr3
i opened my pc and still cant find how many watts is my psu :(
what i found is only the manufacturer and some chinese ding dongs

ok :)

if this one , http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883265531

then your power is 280 WATTS

then no problems at all , you just need standard length ATX power supply :)

tell me your maximum budget so I get you best combination of power and VGA card

thank you sna for a discrete answer of "can my pc be upgraded or not", but no thanks for the recommendation about power and vga combination because im not thinking of upgrading now, but somewhere in the future. But it is glad too know that it can be upgraded and i didnt chose the wrong path of buying a laptop instead. although im thinking that a hd7750 /gtx 650 will be fine for me as my monitor max res is 1366 x 768

But just for the info , the maximum budget will be based on how good am i this semester :D, so actually a Titan is possible if i get the best at class as long as it doesnt blow my electricty bills at first:D ( im just kidding, i know it wont fit to my case)

you can add upto 750 watts power supply in that case.

and it does take upto GTX 770 in that case by the way.

your best choice is GTX760 and a 450 watt Power upgrade. dont get GTX 650 ...
