Hello, i have an optiplex 760 3.0 Ghz + 2X2 GB Slots + 1TB WD Black caviar + SMPS 235V max. Chipset: I think, its Q45 or Q43. But not sure which one of these.

Need a GPU. Please advice which one fits best.
Geforce 210 Max power consumption is 29W, which is inline with what Dell sells.

GT 450 Max is 75W, i think, MY pc can cope up with this amount of power requirements. Should i go for it or not ?

Also, i see that there are 3 cards with same name in Geforce 210. 32 Bit + 512 MB ram, 64 Bit + 1 GB DDR3 Ram and 128 Bit + 512 MB ram. The clock rates are different for each of these. Make: Zotak.

Would some one please educate me on which of these gives the best performance.

Reason for upgrading: Access to Moderate / decent Games like Assasins creed, The Run, etc + my current VGA doesnt support 1080P and i am running on a 42Inch display. The display resolution is pathetic.

Thanks for a prompt response.
As intimated, my CPU has a 235 volt/watt (Not sure of the correct word) capacity. I think, currently i am running at 140+ volts/watts (Not sure of the correct word)

Dell Recommended only those cards which do not exceed 35 V/W power consumption. So there must be a reason for this. Thats the sole reason, i planned for a 210. Is it not worth?

Can my board take up these cards? This is very important as i do not want to end up with a burnt CPU.

Yes 7750 is compatible but this is the max card u can install with this psu. Get the single slot sapphire version of 7750 like this one
