Hi. I purchased this pc off my insurance and would like to add a better graphics card now I have the money. A link to the pc and monitor is below

I have about 150 to spend on a new graphics card and little extra to make it compatible. Can anyone tell me what's the best card for this build and what else is needed? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I have heard that Nvidia graphics cards don't run well with AMD cpu's. Is this true?

There was incompatibility on the first gen apus from amd, but not their cpus. But nvidia works just fine with anything after that and you have the 2nd gen. the card will probably be the best fit for your case because it looks like your power supply is fairly week so you won't be able to push much more. If you want an amd card you would need to upgrade your power supply but you could do a combo like a 260x and a power supply but the 750 TI seems like a better value

Thanks for your quick replies. Including a power supply I can go to 200-220 if there is anything better with that sort of money? I want to run ESO on high see with a fairly decent view distance and frame rate.

I just had a quick look and to the best of my knowledge it looks like there is about 9-10 inches before it would hit the disk drive.

I'm from the UK so would any 500W do? What does bottleneck mean?

As long as the power supply is from corsair, evga, or sea sonic you should be good. They probably have the power supply in the uk. And bottleneck means being held back and unable to reach its maximum potential. But I still think it is a great card for your system
