Hey guys!
I have an acer aspire z5763, it runs a GT435M 2GB, that looks like is about to give up one me, so im lookin for a replacement. And was thinkin about this one http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=...
Since the max power 35w on my old card and 38w on this new one.


And looks like there is enough space aswell.
Now the question is - will my power supply be able to run it, cuz it looks like 220w?

It should be fine if the difference is truly only 3w. Of greater concern and worth researching is if your pcie slot delivers full power or only 35w.

And what about that PSU, wont be too short? The new card wants 300w and 18Amps. And cant seem to find how much W the pcie slot gives out... >.>
And add to that, cant even find the recommended PSU for GT435M.

The power supply is a 220W psu total and that gpu needs 300 at least. If you have a budget for a new power supply you can get a decent graphic card. If not you are gonna be safe with an HD 4350, HD 4650, HD 4550, HD 5550. IT's up to you :)

I'm sorry i couldn't find a psu for your pc, as they are all just a replacement. You still can get the graphic cards I suggested in my previous reply.

And thats where it gets confusing, cuz all of your suggested cards need at least 300w, at least thats what i could find. But the max power req is just ~19 w.

Yes correct, but the system even with 4650 wont pull more than 200w so u will be fine :)  if you are afraid of that just get the lowest one which is the 4350 u will be fine.

So if it is like that, then the 730 should be fine aswell, because the 4650 wants more power than the 730 or am i missing something here?

Nope, the 730 requires more than the ones i recommended, there are posts with success with those cards and a 220W psu on the internet.
And by the way i found a psu upgrade for you:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Athena-Power-AP-MTFX30-300W-TFX...
two 14 amps 12v

or this 350W
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-350W-TFX-Power-Supply-Repla...
18a on the 12v.

and if you went ahed with one of them you should get a gtx 750 or even a 750 ti.

If google doesnt lie, then a pcie 2.0 slot delivers max 75w, now if its the same with an AIO desktop..no idea.
