hello, I am currently looking for a budget Gpu for my core i3 ,but there is a problem my cabinet is a slim one provided by hcl technologies during 2011 and motherboard is a one which i never heard of " PEGATRON IPMSB H61"
i m planing to change the cabinet to antec v1 and power supply to be upgraded to "corsiar vs550 W" my friend suggested me to buy a SAPPHIRE RADEON HD 7770 (BASIC ONE no special edition). i have a budget of 150$ for gpu. is hd7770 a good card for the price
Will this all work be succesful as i m doubtful abt the motherboard support to this graphic card?
my Current rig
Core i3 2100
intel integrated graphics
Pegatron ipmsb h61
6 gb ddr3 ram
200w power supply
a 90mm thick pc case
500gb hdd 7500rpm

Hi and welcome to the forums!

Firstly, Pegatron is a real brand and you haven't even answered his question.

You have a really good friend, the Radeon HD 7770 is the best card for the money and i was going to suggest that card also, it fits in your motherboard but you need a new Power supply (at least 270W), just put the GPU in the long black slot with the clip (PCI-E X16) and you'll be set. the HD 7770 features 1GB GDDR5, which is much better then any DDR3 graphics card with 4GB, there just terrible cards. It is also surprisingly good at gaming, though nothing modern maxed out, it is a great budget graphics card.

With a new PSU get a corsair CX 430, a great cheap power supply, with pleasing quality, even though it's entry level...

if you live somewhere else with inflated prices, the cost of the other GPU's will also increase! I never listed it for $150, wherever you go that from? Please quote me properly.

Better....., no point taking full $150 advantage for the GPU when hell also have to get a power supply, making a 7770 the better budget option.

Your case is up to standard and will support the Corsair VS 550W.

Read properly? I didnt quote you,the OP said in his first post,

For $150? No! Atleast not if you live in the states.


Should be a great card for the money,then.
