Mother Board GPU Compatibility

[Jasoon_05]

I have a computer that I would like to upgrade a graphics card in. Would a Radeon RX 460 be compatible with a M52BC_M32BC computer model?

You should have many problems besides the psu. Is there a gpu in it right now? If so what kind? See if you can find the wattage on the psu

There is currently the very bad Radeon R7 240 in my computer. Where would I find the psu wattage? The power supply says 350 volts. Could this be a reason my current card has high temps also?

Look up the systems specs and look for the wattage of the psu. That wont affect the temps.

The problem with just saying you have a "M52BC" computer is those computers can be configured multiple ways. This makes it hard to get solid information on it. What CPU does it have?

The wattage of the power supply will be on a label on the power supply itself. So shut down the computer and remove the side of the case and look inside. It'll say something like "300W", and while you're at it look at the 12V output, it'll say something like "20A". Those two numbers will help determine what kind of card you can use.

Right now I'd be willing to bet a 460 will work.

The processor is a AMD FX-8310. The label on the power supply unit is very confusing with several numbers on it. From what i can tell it is 350W. In a box it says +12V1 underneath saying 13.0A. If this can't work with my pc could you recommend any decent gpu's that would work?
