Graphics card upgrade for Dell Precision T1500

[TZL]

How do I determine which available graphics card will work in a Dell Precision T 1500 with i7 Core and Windows 7? Is there a site to do such a search?
Thank you.

Is this your computer? http://i.dell.com/sites/content/business/solutions/brochures/en/Documents/precision-t1500-brochure.pdf

If it is, it has a 350W psu, what kind of graphics card do you want? workstation or gaming ? and what's your budget?

Thanks! Yes - that is the computer. I'd like to upgrade for some online gaming but I'm new at this. My budget would be $75-125, if possible.

Safety, you can get an HD 7750, and it fits on your price range, we would need to know more about your computer specs (processor, drives, etc) to know if we can try putting something else.

EDIT: If you are only doing online games, then the HD 7750 should be enough. What's your current monitor resolution?

Thanks, Ste. This T1500 has the following:
Intel Core i7 processor - 870@2.93GHz
Installed memory 6GB
Windows 7 ultimate 32-bit
2 hard drives - 500 Gb & 1 Tb

Is there anything else you need?

Yeah, the HD 7750 should be your best choice then. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161403 , You can try looking for better prices around the internet

I also have a DELL Precision T1500. Was wondering if a Radeon 7770 would work/ fit.

Yes, a 7770 will fit. You will need a 6 pin pci plug however. Tzl, I would recommend getting a gtx 750. It is twice as fast as the 7750, draws the same amount of power, and is the same price.
