So I got a prebuilt PC from HP, here are the specs:
Windows 8.1
CPU: AMD A8-6500
RAM: 6.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 798MHz
Mobo: MSI 2AE0 (P0)
Graphics:HP 23xi on AMD Radeon HD 8570D + HD 7000 Dual Graphics Crossfire disabled
I don't know how to see the PSU but I think its a 300W one.
So my question is, is there any way to upgrade the GPU in this PC? To something like GTX 770 or some AMD HD7770 or something like that, I can see the GPU isn't as good as some games have very low fps and stutter. This would be a great help to whoever can tell me

According to my research I have found this.

Your board has one PCI-Express x16 which is all it needs to be compatible.

You do also need like a 600W power supply minimum, with one 6-pin and one 8-pin power connector. I wouldn't go any lower than 600W for a 770.

ahhh okays, after further researching by myself, it seems that a pcie 2.0 will not bottleneck your 770, its speed is the same as a pcie 3.0 roughly so you can unleash the full power of it :) just make sure your 770 has good cooling and plenty of air as in a crowded case it can get very hot
