How much can you spend? Do you use your computer for gaming or other purposes?Can you afford a better PSU?

What is your monitor resolution & what games do you plan to play with your new graphics card?

 

[panwala95]

the best value card today would be a hd 7750 and would work easily on any generic 400w psu and consumes max power 55 watt . it would compliment your i3 perfectly.

monitor resolution is 2,560x1,600 and games like crysis 2, prototype, max payne 3, ghost recon future soldier

2560x1600 is a heavy resolution to support. What monitor brand & model is that? Must be very expensive...

If it is really a 2560x1600, the minimum GPU model that will support that resolution is 560 Ti or 6950 2GB. In this case, you also need to upgrade the PSU to at least 500W with 2 x 6PIN PCIe connector.

I can connect another monitor which has resolution 1366x768. plz recommend for that.

 

[randomkid]

The 7750 recommended by panwala 95 is best choice for 136x768. It is powerful enough to have good performance & supported by your current PSU.

 

[saurabhsethi9]

but will my psu support it because it requires exact 450 watt and none psu are 100% efficient. and what if i prefer galaxy gts 450. is galaxy a good brand? and how in gts 450 nvidia graphic card for my pc?

 

[akxpckwb]

The power recommendations on the manufacturer's website are always a little exaggerated. The 7750 does only needs power from the PCIe lane which is limited to something like 75 or 80watts.
I think the 7750 is a bit faster than the gts 450 and it draws less power and as you know your PSU is the weakest part of your rig
