Hello everybody,
I'm thinking to get a graphics card upgrade to play all latest games in high/medium/low settings in my following pc. My pc specs :
CPU: Pentium(R) Dual(R) Core G2020 2.90GHz
RAM: 4GB DDR3 (1333MHz; DIMM)
Motherboard: H61H2-MV
HDD: 500GB WDC ATA Device
Please tell me how to check the watt of PSU. Can you suggest me some GPUs that is compatible in my pc ACER Veriton ie3770. I'm thinking to buy a Geforce GTS 450 GDDR5 is this is compatible? Thanks in advance.

You'll have to open your PC case. In there, generally in the top the PSU sticker is there. Take a picture of it and post here.
As for the 450, it's an old card. You could get a GTX 650/R7 250 for the same performance, but these GPU's will be more compatible with new games.

It's the Pentium G2020, and it's basically the i3-2100 without hyperthreading at half the price. It should easily handle the 650, and I'd rather urge him to get a 660 or better, depending on the power supply.
I'm not too optimistic about the power supply though, it's probably a chinese 300W. My Acer had a chinese 250W.
