Firstly this is my computer: http://www.amazon.com/Acer-Predator-AG3620-UR308-Gaming...
(Yeah its not the best...) I want to upgrade the stock gt630 graphics card in the computer to a gtx 760. A guy on this review of the computer: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3DDG58UNAZJ5/ref=cm_cr_pr...
said that if you change some options in bios then you should be able to upgrade it. Will that work? And is my stock 500W psu enough for the gtx 760?
Thanks!

Look at the side of the PSU and list the model and or hoe many amps the 12v+ rail is rated for.

So can I upgrade the gt 630 to the gtx 760 by changing the bios? And also, Im planing to buy a gtx 760 SuperClocked by evga would that be a problem?

If this is the one you are looking at: http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=02G-P4-276...

You will need a stronger PSU. If you look closely at your PSU picture you posted, its max Wattage output is 120, and this GPU has a power draw of 170watts.

I recommend this PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?gclid=CMCglp...

This is one of the most reliable PSUs made by corsair and can sustain the GPU very well. You will also be able to obtain higher clocks. Hope this helps.

You can upgrade it easily. The only concern I have is that on the PC you posted, I cannot find any specs about the motherboard. You may want to find that out because some motherboards cannot withhold great amounts of voltage if you get a better GPU and PSU. You should need no higher than a 750 Watt PSU for most GPUs out there. You can probably pull off a 600w for about almost half the price of the 750w.

That PSU also has the 2-PCI connectors you will need for the GPU.
