Replaceable graphics card for the ASUS M32 series with a AMD A6 6400k processor?

Justin Hunter · Oct 16, 2014

I just bought a ASUS M32 series computer and i wanted to buy a graphics card for it but i was wondering if this graphics was intergrated or not

It doesn't matter if it's got integrated graphics or not, which it probably does, you can still add a PCIe graphics card to upgrade the performance and capability. What is the exact model number of your system? M32-what? There are many and they all have different hardware.

The model of my Desktop is K30BF_M32BF

That's a foreign model and I can't find any information on it. Take the side panel off and look for a PCIe x16 slot that looks like the blue slot that is circled and has a lock on the end of the slot (Not necessarily blue. It can be many colors.), but not like the black one that is slightly different and does not have a lock to engage the end of the GPU card.

Thanks for your help

No problem. When you figure out if you have the slot, I'll help you determine what card will work and whether or not you need to upgrade the power supply in order to safely power the GPU.

I don't have those blue slots but there are these yellow slots:

Yep, that's a x16 slot. Can you take another pic a little further away and get the whole board in the shot. Also, on the board itself should be a model number, It would be helpful to know that as well.

I just found out that the graphics cards is integrated into the processor. So if i would want a new graphics card i would have to get a new processor, and i don't need a new processor at the moment. Thank you for your help

That has nothing to do with it. Almost all CPU's these days have integrated graphics, which makes no difference at all. The integrated graphics are generally weak and intended for basic computing. When you install a GPU card, the integrated graphics will be disabled and the system will run all it's graphics tasks on the installed GPU and not the CPU's integrated graphics. You do NOT need to replace the cpu in order to upgrade your graphics and whoever told you that clearly does not understand how modern hardware functions at all.

If you install a GPU card in the slot as we discussed, the cpu will then become ONLY a CPU, and will no longer be in charge of the graphics.

Darkbreeze,
I am in the exact same situation as Justin Hunter and I was wondering if I could have your opinion on what items I should buy to make this computer better for gaming. My specs are:
* AMD A6-6400K APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics 3.90 GHz
* AMD Radeon HD 8470D
* 8.00 GB DDR3
* Windows 7 Premium 64-bit
* Asus case ( here is a picture of it: http://www.amazon.com/M32BF-US005O-Desktop-A6-6400K-Processor-Windows/dp/B00LSRW8P4)
* 350 Ac Bel PSU
