This is the prebuilt computer i own: http://reviews.bestbuy.com/answers/3545/product/2632034...

what is a good GPU i should buy for this. im not looking to replace the PSU. im willing to spend about $150. And i also have added 2gb of extra ram so i can have 8gb.

the graphics card i previously owned is a gt 610.

Could you post a link to the product page instead of the reviews/questions page? I can really find out the system's specs like this.

The card I'd think of first is the GTX750 Ti though.

The GTX 750 TI would be my recommendation. Its fantastic for the price which is around 150 dollars.

It's 300w: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt...

The card itself only uses 60w though.

EDIT: Thanks, that's a better link. The system has a 300w PSU. The GTX 750 Ti would be the best choice by far.


oh ok. all the other forums told me to upgrade to 400 watt PSU

I think 350watts would be good enough. How many watts is your power supply?

Just make sure you DO NOT get the version with the 6 pin connecter. I believe the gigabyte and msi versions require the 6 pin power connector and 300 watts is pushing it do not overclock.

I would look into getting a new power supply soon because yours is going to be under a lot of stress with that card and it will probably shorten its life span quite a bit.

I doubt that an 85w version like this one would be too much: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

The card is 85w, plus 55w for the CPU is 140w which leaves 160w for the rest of the system. Should be fine. If you don't want to risk it just go for a stock version.

EDIT: Upgrading the PSU is almost always a good idea with a system like this though, primarily because of quality, not wattage.
