Not looking to buy a new PSU or case, just upgrade the weakest link in my system so that I can play some new(er) games. Mainly what I'm worried about is buying this thing then encountering issues with the motherboard/BIOS, and possibly my current power supply even though the card I'm looking at supposedly very efficient

You should upgrade your PSU. That one you've got is junk and would not be enough for stable work.

How certain are you about that? I only ask because I asked about this in another - and possibly less trustworthy - place and the more powerful version of this card(GTX 750 Ti) was recommended to me based on the screenshots I just posted. Both are supposed to be fine with PSU's as low as 300 watts...anyway, thanks for the response

That is trash-quality PSU and no matter what wattage it is. They could write there that this one is 500W while it would produce 250. Those bad PSU's could destroy your whole system once so I again suggest you to buy another one 350-400W 80+ Bronze quality PSU from XFX, Seasonic, Corsair (not CX-series).
