Hi, first of all I hope this is the right category for my question.
I use every day a pre-assembled desktop PC that I've had since 2011, here are the specs:
-ASUS P7H55-M LX motherboard
-Intel Core i3-540 @ 3.07 GHz
-2x 2GB Kingston DDR3 RAM
-WDC WD10EARS-00Y5B1 5400 rpm 1TB HDD
-NVIDIA GeForce 210 1GB
-HP Pavillion 22cw 1920x1080 LED screen
-Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
I want to swap the crappy 210 for a better GPU and I've found that (considering CPU bottleneck) the best choice is the NVIDIA GeForce 750 Ti. Consider that I'm not going to play recent games (only mid-00's to early-10's), but the current video performance is too embarrassing even in 1600x900 upscaled.
I'd like to know if my PC supports the 750 Ti in its current configuration: my main concern is the PSU, which is a tier-5 Deer (labeled 450W). What are the chances of my system blowing up? I've never had a problem in the past and, from what I know, the 750 Ti doesn't consume much more than the 210.
Thanks in advance for your answers!
