Hi everyone,

I'm looking to upgrade the graphics in my 3-year old system, currently running an i5-2320 and integrated Intel Family Graphics.

I only have a 305 watt power supply, and the 12v rail can only supply 12A. Here is a picture of the power supply sticker: http://imgur.com/EbCozQ1

If anyone could help me decide what graphics card would be the best I can run, then your help would be greatly appreicated. Also, if you can, please find cards which are available in the UK, preferably using Amazon.co.uk.

Thanks in advance!

Hello how are you? Well for first thing please upgrade that power supply it is going to burn. If you are lucky you my pair with this card but this card is seriously bottle neck with your processor (http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-02G-P3-2639-KR-GeForce-2048MB-Graphics/dp/B008Y8PON8). Seriously get a new power supply and than get a budget card like r7 250 or r9 270 and will perform good with your processor and you will see a wide performance boost over gt 630. Cheers :)
