I currently have this computer (HP Pavilion HPE h8-1234): http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/kb/docDisplay/?sp4ts.oid=5187019&spf_p.tpst=kbDocDisplay&spf_p.prp_kbDocDisplay=wsrp-navigationalState%3DdocId%253Demr_na-c03359045-8%257CdocLocale%253D%257CcalledBy%253D&javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken

I'm experiencing graphics lag in games - I play mostly MMOs, currently StarWarsTOR and Final Fantasy XIV.

I'd like to upgrade my graphics card and some friends recommended GTX 760 but I don't think the power in this machine would support it. Is there a good upgrade to what I have without having to upgrade the power supply or do I need to definitely upgrade that as well to get any better graphics?

I don't care about turning up the graphics to high - all the flashing lights is a bit too much for me anyway. :) But I like to raid so I can't have lag that would cause the stuff you have to move out of to render slowly.

I would like to keep total cost under $300 but I'm flexible on that as long as it isn't too much over.

Hopefully that was enough info without being too much to read. Thank you very much in advance for any help.
