So I bought an Ibuypower and I would like to upgrade a few pieces just to get a little better graphics as I'm already running games pretty well. I have the Ibuypower wa550g and I want to upgrade my psu and gpu. However I was wondering if I would have any comparability issues if I installed a new psu. Also I wanted to get the Zotac gtx 750 ti and I wondered if it would be compatible with my mobo and how could I figure that out.
 
Solution
The 750ti should be fine in your build, but your power supply should be at least 280w, preferably 300w.
As long as you can access your motherboard, its just a matter of plugging it into a PCI-E slot and playing.
Any graphics card is compatible with any motherboard just so long as it uses a PCI-E connector, which is a standard connection on any motherboard.
It's that big, long plastic slot/line thing underneath where the CPU is. Plug the graphics card into there and you're set.
You might want to replace the power supply though, because those bundled with PCs are typically low quality. Go for the Seasonic S12II 520w for $58.99.
