I am thinking about putting a graphics card in my pc, I have 2 questions. I never really messed with computers so will I be able to put a graphics card in my pc if it has integrated graphics? And my pc case is pretty small so i don't know which graphics card to get since most of them are pretty big. You can find my pc at https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-10KY002BUS-Desktop-i5-6400-Windows/dp/B01E1LQ55W Any recomendations for graphics cards I should get? I will mostly be playing FPS games.

Thanks

Based on the documentation I could find, your computer does have the requisite pcie x16 slot for a graphics card, with the caveat being that it has to be low profile to accommodate the case dimensions.

GTX 1050 Low Profile is the most powerful card I found in that format, which is entry-level but quite capable (especially compared to integrated graphics).

I would definitely recommend adding memory to your computer and, if possible, an SSD drive to install games on. Several games recommend (require?) 8GB or even 16GB of memory and an SSD would markedly reduce loading times.

Can I ask where you found that information? I'm having trouble locating it.

Regardless, the 1050 does use 75W of power and recommends a 300W power supply while this computer only includes a 180W supply.

The GT 1030 Low Profile seems like a viable option, albeit just a small step up from integrated video.

I have an SSD but never got around to putting it in, is it worth it?
