The motherboard has a PCI-e x16 slot so you're good to go. The power supply should cover the 5450. Also, just a bit of advice- don't get the 2GB version. It's a weak card and there is just no point in having that much memory on it because it most likely will not be able to utilize it.

It will work on your g31 board no problem. Just pop the cover and make sure you have a pci-e slot. The type of ram on the video card does not effect its compatibility with the motherboard becuase it is controlled by the GPU. The mother board just sees video card, it does not care what type of gpu or ram it has.

Your much better off with the AMD HD6450. It costs like $5-10 more uses like 35% less electricity and it is like %50 faster.

@Ashish my budget is 3K nd if i go for hd6450 i have to change my smps also which will increase my budget as 1 of my frnd tld me dat hd6450 will not work on ur smps nd ur motherboard and my +12V rating is 240 watt

actually 7750 can run pretty well on a 280 watt psu as it is an amazingly efficient card.
but then your budget is too low for a real gaming card. i onced owned a 5450 and it was bad. i mean the performance is too low even at lowest settings in modern games.
if you want to play modern games at even medium settings at 720p the minumum is radeon 6670 ddr3.
so i suggest you save up an extra 2k for the 6670 rather than wasting your money on a 6450

You have enough wattage.there are two options for you one is hd 5570 and hd 6570.both cards have same power consumption 43w tdp.hd 5570 costs 3400 and hd 6570 costs 3900.you will fine with both cards.but if you want to play some games at med-high at 720p you need hd 6570.anything less than 6570 is bad for gaming.

i once ran a hd 6670 1 gb ddr3 graphics card from a g31 motherboard so it should be ok to run this card i think the hd 5450 has a tdp of less than 24w so this power supply
should be able to run this card


The Radeon HD 6670 can use up to 46w at stock speed. I won't bother with it on a 280w PSU from a brand I never heard of.
