I have a couple of questions that maybe you could answer? I'm pretty new to the whole GPU vs Model type connectivity and recommendations. I would like this GPU but Im not sure if I would be able to use it. Any help is better than none, so thanks. Also, I'm open to any recommendations you professionals out there might have so feel free to let me know.

The GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti EVGA SSC 1gb edition

My specs:
3rd Generation Intel Core i5-3330 Processor 3.0GHz with Turbo Boost Technology up to 3.2GHz
Windows 8
Intel B75 Express Chipset
8GB DDR3 Dual-Channel Memory
Integrated Intel HD Graphics
1TB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive,Including 1 easy-swap HDD Expansion Media Bay
8X DVD-SuperMulti Double-Layer Drive
High Def Audio with 5.1 Channel Surround Sound Support
Multi-in-One Digital Media Card Reader
10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN ( RJ-45 Port)
802.11a/b/n Wireless
Bluetooth 4.0+HS
8-USB 2.0 Ports ( 2-Front,4Rear,2 Rear w/USB Module )
4-USB 3.0 Ports ( 2 Front , 2 Rear ) *2 Rear USB 3.0 Feature Power-off USB Charging
1-HDMI Port with HDCP Support
1-VGA Port
USB Keyboard and Optical Mouse

My budget: roughly around $130.

You could probably do it. Benchmarks using systems with more powerful CPUs and more RAM draw about 250W. It's that I'm sure the PSU in your computer is not of good quality and doesn't actually deliver 300W. I also doubt that your PSU has a 6 pin connector for the graphics card. Even if it did I wouldn't personally risk it, but if your psu does have a connector then you can attempt it at risk of damaging your computer. Your best option if you want a discrete card is either lower the performance of the card to a hd 7750 or you need a gpu + new power supply.

The radeon R7 260x GPU would be better?
And how would I check in my PC has that much PSU power?
Thanks!

Actually I believe I found some info on this, I think it has a 300 watt power supply...dang, so anything I can do now?
