Hey guys,

I'm a software guy, but I'm pretty new to upgrading the physical specs of my PC. I have an HP Envy h8 which is great... except for the Intel HD 4000 graphics processor it came with. I tried playing some Secret World with a friend and it could only run windowed 1024x768 on the lowest visual settings. What is that?!

I've read that the AMD 7750 is a really good entry-level card, which is sort of what I'm looking for. But I don't want to buy it only to find out that it won't work with my PC. Any tips for what to look for?

Thanks guys.

The specs say 300W but I have seen other users say it's actually a 460W:

I'm not sure how to tell though :-S
