Hello, this actually involves multiple questions, so please bear with me.
I am looking to upgrade my pre-built computer from years ago with a discrete graphics card to be able to play some games at decent settings (we've gotten used to playing everything at lowest possible settings). My computer's specs are at the end.
I was thinking of getting a 6670, not sure if it will run on my 250W PSU with (I think) 14A on the 12V rail.
I also found out that my power supply has a 20 pin connector that goes into a 24 pin connector on the motherboard. There's also another 4 pins that plugs in beside the CPU.
I'm not sure if putting in a graphics card would be too much for the power supply, especially with only the 20+4 pin connector.
If I can't do the 6670, it would be great if you could give me a recommendation on if I should replace the PSU, different graphics card, etc... at the lowest cost. I am planning to use this for maybe 4 more years if this works out. Also, I live in Canada.
