My case is an acer vx2631 ur12 and its power supply is 220 watts. I know the recommended psu is 300 watts but im willing to take the risk to upgrade my graphics card. The gpu that i want to upgrade to is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127836 which is an MSI GeForce GTX 750 low profile graphics card. my cpu is an i5 4460
Will this low profile graphics card fit in my motherboard?

Not sure why you are going for such an old card but yes it will be compatible however your power supply will need to change. It will last kelt draw more than the psi can safely deliver leading to possible hardware death and definite lack of functionality. A decent quality bronze plus 500w power supply costs less than $40 and I recommend that before any other upgrade

It will fit, but this one draws even more power than the ones we discussed in your other thread. Its your money, but at a minimum it may not perform right, and at a maximum the PSU will crap out and take some other stuff with it.

And require a new case since the system is some compact job with a TFX or SFX format PSU.
A GTX750 non-Ti will most likely be fine on a 220W PSU assuming the PSU is half-decent.

Your case has 2 slots however the GPU one is closest to the edge, so in reality it will be a very tight fit to get it in there. It will be tough to get airflow into those fans. To be honest now that I look even closer at it, it may not fit because of the fans.
GPU is the bottom slot
Note the proximity of the last slot to the side of the case.
Are you even able to find this card, newegg says not available.

If it will fit it will run yes. I've already warned you of the power implications, but yes it will work. If you start driving it hard that PSU is going to fail, just be prepared.

I can't say for sure, as long as you don't up the graphic level to where you get a lot of slowdown you should be ok.

220w vs 300w requirement, should be fine if you dont max out the card. This is TI model, so should consume less then this
