Alright, so a few days ago I got a pre-build pc for free.I asked what graphics card would be best for my computer and they said that the GTX 750ti. Which is good since the minimum requirements is 300w and that's what I have. So I wanted to know if my computer could use it. If you need anymore information please let me know, Thanks!

Anyway my current system specs are
Processor:Intel (R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2180 @ 2.00 Ghz
Current Video Card: Intel (R) G33/G31 Express Chipset Family
Hard Disk: Corsair 500gb
RAM: 5.1 GB
Power supply: Bestec 300w

The CPU is pretty slow for newer games, and check the RAM setup, if you have two 2 gig sticks and a 1 gig stick, remove the 1 gig stick, it's not doing much to improve things and killing your dual channel RAM setup. I would not even get the 750 Ti, any game that can use that card well will be held back by the CPU. An nVidia 730 for half the price is just fine for the system you have. The only way a 750 Ti is OK to get in your case is if you are planning to upgrade the whole computer in a year or two.
