I know i will have to upgrade my power supply to a 450w just need to know if everything will be compatible and if not what would be a good alternative and/or any suggestion around the same price range would be gratefully appreciated

well, with a new psu either of those will work fine

but, you wont be able to play cpu-intensive games with that apu though.

This PSU is a perfect fit for your needs and will fit your case , it's the same size as your current one , great quality made by a SEASONIC.

Glad to help.

One more question tho. Will either of these graphic cards fit in the case?

Danbuscus25 · Mar 19, 2014

oh, good thought. the case is a mini tower, and based of the size of the case and the cards, im not sure. i THINK if you get the card with a low-profile bracket it should fit. also, the r7 260x is significantly smaller. i couldnt find a low-profile version or either card, but there may be.

Danbuscus25 :

So you think the R7 260x would be a better choice?

Card Dimensions
6.6" x 4.4" x 1.5"

Danbuscus25 · Mar 19, 2014

well, if it is down to those 2 cards then the 265 is a little bit faster, and a little more expensive, but the 260x has a better chance of fitting.
