I'm using a standard Hp H8-1234 PC CLICK HERE. I was hoping someone could help me upgrade the GPU, cuz this one isn't very powerful. A few ideas, or even helping me figure out what it is I would need to know to look for would be apprecaited.

you don't have many options... with a 300w power supply, and it has no PCI-E power cables... the GTX750 is $100ish after rebate and doesn't need power cables or use much juice. I'd say it's about your only option.

what are you getting for $100.... well lets put it this way. your computer Radeon 7450 card scored 323 in G3d benchmark test. the GTX750 scores 3,341. so literally 10x as powerful

you don't need to upgrade the PSU, if you don't overclock... your system draw at full load would only be about 200watt

Well before you even think about getting a decent gpu you have to buy a better psu (power supply unit) as the one you have is only 300w. I would suggest something like this (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-power-supply-cx600m) as its cheap and pretty good.Whats you max budget? It would help me pick out a gpu for you.
