I'm thinking about upgrading my graphics card in hopes to play the new witcher but am at a loss when it comes to these things. Was hoping someone could point me in the right direction:

Specs:
I7-3770 CPU @3.40 GHZ(8CPUs)
8GB Ram
Radeon HD 7500 (want replaced)
DC output (?) 460W

Looking for something affordable (preferably under 400$)

The question mark is there because I dont know anything about this. The sticker inside my computer marks the following:

DC output: Max out put power 460W. does it still worry you (i.e: should i replace both?)

ok. Thank you so much for your help. greatly appreciated.

Just a quick other question. by the looks of the video card, it looks like it requires an PCIex16 slot. I believe mine only has the PCIex1 slots. Am i correct?
