The Video card I'm looking at is http://

Can anyone help me? It's a Gateway DX 4885 model, and Gateway support is useless when I ask them.

Thanks

I presume this is your PC: https://assets.pcmag.com/media/images/438818-gateway-dx4885-ur2d.jpg?thumb=y&width=333&height=245

If you keep the stock 300W PSU, the fastest card you can safely use is the GTX 1050 Ti.
Replacing the PSU will allow you to use a faster gfx card.

Forget the GT 610. It is a weak low-end card that isn't much better than your integrated gfx. What is your budget for a card and/or PSU?
