The big question is what PSU (wattage/brand/model) do you have? You can get a 770/780 if you want, but need to make sure your PSU can handle it.

HiTechObsessed :

Its a 450w. Dont know brand name. Can find out tonight

HiTechObsessed · Feb 3, 2014

Ok, 450w is on the lower side, but if it's quality there's no worries. What was your budget you were looking at?

HiTechObsessed :

Around 150-200

HiTechObsessed · Feb 3, 2014

That's a good budget for a good upgrade lol The top end could net you an R9 270. Could get a 7850/7790 at the lower end of the budget.

As long as your PSU has the connectors and quality that is

HiTechObsessed :

What connectors do I need? How do I find out what model my 450w is? Im all new to this
stuff.

Open your case and look at it, that's the only way. And you will need at least 1 6pin connector.

HiTechObsessed · Feb 3, 2014

If it doesn't have anything, you can always go with the 7770 GHz edition. It'll be the fastest graphics card you can buy without needing connectors.

7770 needs a 6 pin, the 7750 is the highest card that runs off the board.

HiTechObsessed · Feb 3, 2014

See, that's what I thought, but someone said the other day they were running a 7770 that didn't require power...

That's what I get for listening to people lol

That's why I never quote other people without a good google search haha.
