The card will fit but you will have to upgrade the stock 300watt power supply to be able to run it.

Did not catch the slower clocked 650 model you were considering purchasing.
If budget allows get the Nvidia 750 or 750ti models which will be much faster. and no power connector needed.

You just unplug all the cables from the psu, unscrew it, slide it out, insert new one, replug all connectors back in, a 500w will be good

All psus are the same size, any made by seasonic, super flower or xfx will be very good and reliable, go for a 550w from these manufacturers

gtx 650 and gtx 750 consumes same amount of power but yes the psu wich comes with a pre build pc is crappy one so just buy a decent 400 - 450 watt psu if u either buy a gtx 650 or gtx 750 gtx 750 would be a good choice its much more powerful than gtx 650 .if u have not much budget for gtx 750 then you can go for AMD r7 260x if u dont have any problems with an amd card.

I was looking at the requirements for the graphics card and it says minimum 400w so should I just get a seasonic 400w PSU? Or something different?

Yes my mistake, not all psus are same size, but a mid tower will accommodate any size I think, I only said it so you don't have to worry about dimensions etc and a seasonic psu is fine yes, one of the best psu manufacturers out there

So sorry, one more question.
How exactly does the graphics card work? For example do I need and HDMI coming out of it into the monitor or just put the graphics card in and connect the HDMI to the back of the computer or? And how exatly does the graphics card connect into the computer? For example any cables or?
Thanks again.

as legend said you have to install the GPu first in the motherboard then connect the PCIE cables to the GPU close the case cover if u are using hdmi or dvi cable put the one end of the cable in the monitor and another to the GPU thats it.

So I just need either HDMI or DVI cable coming from the GPU into the moniter? Obviously with the graphics card installed and connected to the computer.
