I want to upgrade the video card of my desktop computer with a gtx 650 to play some recent games from like last year to this year (borderlands, assassins creed 2, newer games like dishonored). I just want the games to be playable. What do you think

system: http://www.pcworld.com/product/31068/inspiron-530.html

(note: mine is a little different, the cpu is quadcore intel core 2 quad Q6660, 2400 MHz)

and oh it have 4 gig ram with a 400 MHz speed

replacement vcard: gtx 650

*****
if u need more info just ask me thanks.

What is the PSU? You'll probably have to replace that too. Also remember not to expect much past medium.

You won't have to worry about the PSU if you get a 7750, which will offer the same performance.

thanks for the response. I'm not too sure about the psu but I think its 450 watts. For not being sure, I'll just buy the 7750 as you suggested, thanks.
