I just inherited an asus essentio desktop that was purchased over the summer.
These are the main components:
4th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-4770 processor
Features an 8MB L3 cache and 3.4GHz processor speed with Turbo Boost up to 3.9GHz.
Intel® Core™ i7 processor
16GB DDR3 memory
2TB Serial ATA III hard drive (5400 rpm)
.
NVIDIA GT 625 graphics
Feature 2GB dedicated video memory for lush images with intricate detail. HDMI output for connection to an HDTV.
I have an option to put a GTX 260 in this machine. I know the gt625 is not a great card and eventually I am going to upgrade the VC and power supply. My main goal here is to be able to play knights of the old republic online. Which card would be better for that?
Many, many thanks

If this is your card: http://www.amazon.com/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-625-2048/dp/tec...
... I wasn't even aware Nvidia made one of those. But from the specs, I'd say it would be a real challenge playing any modern game well on it at 1080p. It appears to be basically the GT 625M laptop chip on a desktop card.

If you stay with your existing PSU, go with the HD 7750. Amazing card for the money and the 55W of power it consumes maxed out. If you want to invest in a new PSU, your budget will be your limit.
