Hi guys,
I'm fairly a noob concerning PC builiding, but I love to play videogames. I currently have an Acer Aspire M3970 which have good specs (6 gb ram) but have the basic intel graphic card. I'm looking to upgrade it but I want to make sure I buy the right thing for my pc. I have a generic 300W Power Supply in it and I'm looking to play games like Dota 2, Witcher 3, Dark Souls 2, etc. I'm not looking for ultra settings, but I want to be able to get a constant >30 fps. Also, I want to drop between 75 and 150 $ for the card.

Thanks !

It has an i5 @ 3,00 GHz but I'm unable to find the motherboard's name since it is a prebuilt computer..

The PSU will have an extra cable coming out that has 6-pins. If it doesn't they card probably comes with a molex to 6-pin adapter but I'd recommend getting a decent 500W PSU.
