Hello, I have a Acer M5100 running on windows 7 and i want to upgrade my PSU and graphic card.

My budget is 120-130$.

Since it's a relatively old PC and motherboard, i want to make sure everything is compatible. All i want is to be able to play new games like sims4, tropico 5 and other non-hardcore games from this generation.

Is there some hardware that you could recommend that would fit in my computosaurus?

Thanks a lot!

If you can go about forty bucks more you could upgrade to the R7 250 card that's much better.
