Hi !

I have an Intel Celeron CPU G162 2.70 GHz and an Intel HD Graphics card. The PC is awful and incredibly outdated. I never planned to save up money to upgrade my graphics card, but I've got an extra $150 on the side, and I want to use it to upgrade the card.
Can anyone recommend a graph card that's in the price range? I don't want anything glamorous, I don't have money to build a beast PC. To be completely honest, I play only League, Skyrim and I'm about to download TERA on the computer. I get from 30 to 50 FPS on League, on minimum settings. It's annoying.
I just want something that's compatible with my current hardware (the processor etc.) and something I have money for.

Thanks, in advance!

Assuming your motherboard has a PCI-Ex16 expansion slot, you should be able to run a GTX 750 Ti so long as it does not require an external power connection. Your power supply does not have a 6-Pin PCI-E Power cable. If you're not sure about the motherboard, take a picture of the expansion slots and we can let you know.

How do I check both of those specs? I have to open up the case to see the power supply number, right? What about the motherboard?
I'm so very sorry... you're dealing with a newbie here.
 


Yes you will have to open the case to identify the PSU.

Don't know if this is useful, but I sure hope it is. I inhaled a ton of dust opening the case, I'm sneezing like crazy.

Do you guys need any other info?
