I have a acer aspire x3200.
2.90GHz dual core with 4GB of ram.
Id like to replace my graphics card for something that could run games like skyrim on mid to high settings. I'm open to replacing my power supply and sorta expect too. With that being said any suggestions for a low profile graphic card as well as a power supply.
I was suggested this:
Radeon HD 7850 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161406

but id like a little more options than just the one, and the 7850 isn't extremely pricy or anything but if there is something a little cheaper that someone knows about id appreciate it, any info would be amazing.

Current psu is 220 and I'll just say a loose budget of 200 but id like to keep it as low as possible with still being able to play some games like skyrim on mid to high settings.

Well after taking a quick look at that computer, it seems as if there is no pci-e16x slot on the motherboard. Theres only a 1x slot. Not to mention, unless the 7850 you was a single slot, low profile card, it would not fit in a that small of a form factor case

EDIT: this is your computer correct? http://reviews.cnet.com/desktops/acer-aspire-ax3200-u3600a/4505-3118_7-33345347.html#!

Okay so this one: http://reviews.cnet.com/desktops/acer-aspire-x3200-ed5600a/4505-3118_7-33634979.html

That does help, looks like this one does have a pcie 2.0 x16 slot in it. Whatever you do I'll want a better powersupply than 220. For the 7850 the minimum that they say is 450, but a high quality 400 would do. Its just tough finding ITX psu's that are high quality(EDIT: If you can find this one, 80+ gold! http://www.sparklepower.com/pdf/IPC/FSP400-701US.pdf). Ill do some digging and see what I can find.

This is probably the best card that could possibly fit in that case otherwise you're stuck with something with quite a bit less performance power such as:

I think you're still stuck with low profile and single slot cards

I'll probably change the case and thank you so much I'll start looking for that power supply as well
