I just bought the inspiron 660 all parts stock, what kind of video card would you recommend to have it run optimally and likely be compatible with future upgrades to other components? my current budget is up to $150
info: intel i5-3330 8 gb memory intel HD graphics , not sure if this means anything but i660-9002bk. by the way please treat my like a newby, i only have limited computer knowledge and will likely need things explained in laymen's terms

You can use the 7750 on a 300W power supply. Many have run it on a 275W supply. If you want to upgrade your power supply to a CX 500M http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ALK3HF4/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00ALK3HF4&linkCode=as2&tag=b0b929-20 you would be able to run any current card on the market. Keep in mind the manufacturers over shoot their recommended wattage to cover their own butts. 300W is fine for the 7750 but you won't be able to power any card above it. Do you have a total budget for this upgrade?[/quotemsg]

At the moment i am looking at up to $150 dollars into the immediate upgrade(i have some larger expenses this month) but next month i will have more funds to play with for further upgrades.

I went ahead and bought both the graphics card and the power supply, it was a little over my established budget but my roommate happened to walk by and had an amazon gift card he wasn't planning on using. Thank you for the recommendations. if i have any trouble after i receive and install the components would you be able to assist?
