I recently went through a mix up with my manufacturer. I was recommended the GeForce GTX 750 TI. The first problem was, it would require me to disable my wireless internet connection due to lack of space on the motherboard. I fixed that by just using a USB wifi adapter. But now, I'm being told that I can't use a card that requires external power at all. I'm looking for the best graphics card that's price cap is 150$, and one that does not require external power. Thanks.

I'm guessing it's a generic unit then, in that case the 750 series are your best bet, though you should look for a PSU upgrade in the future.

What is the brand and model of the "500W" PSU? Any decent 500W PSU should have at least one PCIe power cable. That yours does not would lead me to believe it's something like a Logisys, Diablotek, or Apevia, good for no more than half what's on its label.

Ooh, Ultra has a particularly poor reputation for PSU quality. Fortunately, even if it is only good for 300W-350W, it should be enough. Still, if/when you can replace it, that would be a good idea for the long term health of your system.
