I have a Lenovo IdeaCenter K450 with the following specs:

Intel Core i5 4430 (3.0GHz)
8GB Ram
Windows 8
750W PSU
4TB HD
NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 2GB

My question is --- What kind of video card would fit and be compatible with this system?

Please let me know if you have any information on what could work for this system as I want to step up my gaming on this system! Thanks in advance! Cheers!

Please post the data that comes from PRODUCT and Manufacturer columns. Otherwise, a screenshot would help.

so yeah it doesn't say what the board is, but it has a gtx 630 in it which means it can host current gpu's, and if it's a decent psu than you really can run any card out there. i would look at upgrading to a 760 or 770 if you want staying power, just be sure to measure internal space before purchase, and make sure that it's a psu from someone like corsair, cooler master, etc.

Weird. Anyway, I have been studying about your product. I can see that your board comes up with one PCIE x16 slot which comes in handy to install ANY GRAPHICS CARD! Your processor is powerful. There will be no bottleneck even for higher-level cards.

Lol, it doesn't matter what CPU you use. You can use AMD card for intel processor.

Thank you for your time and patience. I'm new to the DIY world, but am eager to start upgrades without paying somebody an arm and a leg to do it.
