Yeah you'll want to make sure it's compatible with your power supply. Most graphics cards won't run on an OEM power supply.

Open up the case and check the label on the PSU.

What would I be looking for after I open it up and look at the label?

Well that's not too specific...

Does it have a cable like this?

That's what you need to have in order to run a GTX 650Ti.

This is the link to it I just found
Just search this: 5055492430878 in google and it will come up



Does it have one of those 6-pin PCIe plugs? I can't find any accurate info on the connectors

I dont think so, but could you find me a cheap alternative that would work with the gtx 650 ti?

This will give you some upgrade headroom (there's a 450W version but it actually costs more). It's never a good idea to cheap out on the PSU, this one is fairly cheap and it's made by Seasonic (= one of the best). Don't go for the Corsair CX series either, they're cheaper but the build quality is actually pretty bad.

If you want a cheaper alternative you could get a Corsair CX430 for $20. They come with 5 year warranties. I've been using mine to power a GTX 660 for over 4 years without problem. They are very reliable for their price.

They have a high failure rate (bad capacitors) so I wouldn't recommend it. You may have gotten lucky with yours but that may not be the case for everyone.
