I am currently a novice when it comes to computers. I currently have a dell optiplex 780 that i required for free and had to replace the hard drive. It was using onboard graphics from the CPU orriginaly so i decided to upgrade it with a GT 610, passive cooling. This is obviously not suited for gaming and i only just manage 60fps on csgo, overclocked at 810/1220 and lowest settings on everything, 720p. What would be a suitable upgrade from the GT610? I am confused by all the low profile slot malarkey. It is quite a thin pc so i believe that cuts out most of the avalible grapics cards. I would also like to know how i can supply additional power from the motherboard to the upgraded graphics card (if needs be). Feedback is much appreciated, thanks.

Oh, my current specs are as follows:
Intel Core 2 due 7500 2.93 GHz
5 gb of ram (DDR3?)
300gb hardrive

(Preferably a cheap, second hand upgrade)

5gb of ram ???



"I would also like to know how i can supply additional power from the motherboard to the upgraded graphics card"


you cant, max from the slot is 75w, or 35w from some crappy pre-built mobos. You cant change this

you would need a new power supply with a pcie power cable

to you this would be irrelevant since you have a SFF case

I have 5 gb of ram because i replaced one of the 1gb sticks with a 2gb one. Would my pc be powerful enough to use the GTX 750 and if so, could you please send a link to the graphics card. Oh, and how much better would it be than the gt 610. Thanks.
