cpu - AMD Phenom II X6 1045T
video card - AMD Radeon HD 6450
motherboard - foxxconn 2ab1 (info: http://www.pc-specs.com/mobo/Foxconn/Foxconn_2AB1/452)

i was wondering what, if any, upgrade to my current video card i can make. the graphics card has to be PCIe 2.0 or 2.1 and also if you could include a power supply i would need to power the card (i plan on replacing psu)

i would like to use this for gaming, 720p is ok, but can i find something to play 1080p with 30fps+?

GTX 750Ti maybe? What say? Power wise, you don't need extra connectors for this card. It will power itself from the motherboard. It has the new Maxwell architecture. Extremely Power efficient! (http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-750-ti)

buying from usa, no budget, current psu is probably 300W brand is unspecified.


PCIe 3.0 is backwards compatible but i wont be getting the full bandwidth so i dont want to pay for something if im not fully utilizing its potential.

you won't be not 'fully utilizing it's potential' if you get a pci-e 3.0 card.
