I'm planning to change my gpu, I was wondering if the HD7750 would be a good choice.
The PC was a gift. It's Pre-Built. No idea what card the motherboard can support, AND I don't know the mobo's name.

Specs:
AMD A4-5000 (4cores@1.5ghz)
GT 620 1GB
6GB Ram
Mobo- ?
PSU - ?

So what gpu should I get? Will HD7750 be compatible?

Yes HD 7750 would fit in it. No Issue. Recommendation is HD 7770 for you.

Thanks for the reply! Is the 7750 or 7770 a lot bigger in size? Because the case I have is pretty damn small. It's almost the size of a console.

Doesn't say on the website... Only 280.5 x 100 x 367 mm (H x W x D)

How about the PSU? Will that be an issue? And I'm pretty sure the mobo only supports PCI-E 1.1, will this work with that card?

This is the dimension of the card on the website 152.4 x 68.84 x 36.57 mm. HD 7750 has length of 174 mm. I think, fitting in this case would be problematic.

And what about the PSU and the PCI-E 1.1? Will that be a porblem?

Cards have backward compatibility so PCIe 1.1 will not an issue. What about PSU?

What power usage is minimum for this pc if I replace the gpu for 7750 or 7770?

And will my cpu bottleneck the gpu?

You don't need more than 400W stick with 300-350W PSU. Yes, CPU can bottleneck the gpu in which case you may lower the settings of the game.

One last question, how much better will the performance be if I change this gt 620 to say, HD7750, with this cpu?

HD7750 is powerful graphics card. GT 620 is not comparable (to be very honest). Like I said earlier, CPU can bottleneck it but you can lower the settings in games to accommodate this limitation. One edit: You'll need 300-350
W PSU nothing more.
