Hi, I bought a used 6 year old Inspiron 530s off a garage sale for $70 and I'm currently looking to upgrade it's graphics capabilities by a bit. Keep in mind I'm not very tech savvy
It's current specs are
Intel Pentium Dual CPU E2160 1.80 GHz
3.5 Gigs memory
I had a cousin with some Crucial rams lying around and we bumped it's memory up to 3.5 from it's stock 1 gig. Now I'm looking to buy a graphics card for it. I'll only be using this for web browsing, music, watching videos, and occasionally, photo editing with PS. Right now I'm eyeing the Sapphire HD 5450 which goes for $35 at Amazon. I'm not really looking to spend more than $50 to upgrading this computer and I'll be limited to it's 250w Power Supply (which I don't really want to upgrade either). So will the 5450 be more than capable enough for the tasks I listed above, and will it run off of this system's stock power supply? Thanks a lot guys.
