It probably doesn't state it on their site because it's a budget sys that most would not try to upgrade.

And yes, like I said yours could be configured differently. Often times prebuilt PCs have options on certain items, not as much so with budget name brand builds though. It's usually something reserved for custom build house PCs.

I always tell people they're better off buying the parts and building their own, and sometimes waiting for better pricing or affording to spend slightly more. Such practices save you in the long run.

That's not what I'd call a GPU upgrade-able system as far as case and PSU as far as I can tell. I just saw a review on it and although it's said to have a spare Pci-Ex 16x slot at the top of the MB, they had this to say about it...

"There's even a spare PCI Express x16 slot at the top of the case, although only a half-height card will fit, and the tiny 220W PSU will have a bearing on performance."

Things like this are why it's not good to buy a prebuilt, especially a cheap name brand one, if you plan on upgrading parts. You end up spending more money replacing other parts because of it, mainly case and PSU, sometimes MB as well.

So i'm out of options in upgrading the GPU of this PC?

And from what i've researched both the GT 620 and GTX 750 uses the same power comsumption (300W)

Im on a budget, and dont have the money to custom build a new PC.
