I am looking to put a new graphics card in my computer, I have an A8 in there and with a MS-7778 (JasmineR) MOBO and want to know what is a good and cheap card I can put in there. And if I want to get another MOBO how can I tell if the graphics card is compatible? thanks!

If you are using Windows 8, you will probably have to go into your BIOS and switch from UEFI to Legacy Mode prior to installing your Graphics Card. This will ensure your MOBO will recognize your GPU immediately upon boot up. I ran into this when upgrading my HP 500-054 from integrated graphics to an MSI Radeon HD 7850 2GB. I installed the GPU prior to BIOS modification and it had me going in loops for days.

Also, if you have a stock tower, you might want to upgrade to at least a decent tower to fit the GPU and PSU with good airflow.

I bought an HP Pavilion with this MOBO and didn't have to do anything special. Just upgraded the Power Supply to a EVGA 600w and an EVGA Nvidia GTX 750ti.. Works powerfully, cool, and like it should.

I am having a similar issue with my MOBO I cant wipe the integrated in the BIOS on windows 10 because there is no chipset option so i cant use my radeon 7970... I have tried and tried but i cant get the darn thing to go from UEFI to Legacy...
