Hi community,
I am currenty considering getting a new graphics card for my pre built PC I got off Fierce PC.

The specs of my computer is
Motherboard : Gigabyte FC-A288XM-DS2P
Processor : AMD A8-6600k
current Graphics : Integrated Radeon R7 Graphics
RAM : 8GB
Also, I have no idea on how to find out the wattage and could anyone also explain how to calculate which graphics card would be best for my system?

Thanks.

You take off the side panel and look @ the power supply. It has a label which tells you the brand and wattage. Then we can tell you the best GPU it can handle.

(also, do you know what speed your memory is running at?)

My Voltage is stated as 230V, no sign of the wattage there whatsoever.
Also, for my memory, it states that the 'NB Frequency' is 1796.4 MHz and the 'DRAM' Frequency is 798.4 MHz.
Sorry for my lack of information!
