Last response: in Graphics & Displays
Hi I would like to purchase a new graphics card on my computer because I play minecraft and I only get 30-40 fps. So I have been looking at some graphics card and I was wondering if this one would work on my computer? ------->

My computer specs are:
8GB DDR3 memory
AMD phenom II X4 690T CPU
and this is my current graphics card
Integrated ATI Radeon HD 4200
My deskop amazon.ca link:

Thanks!

in that link you supplied under "customer reviews" i found this:
I ripped out the paltry 250w power supply and added a 775w Thermaltake modular PS (a modular power supply is definitely needed due to the limited space in the case). Then I installed two additional 500gb 7200RPM hard drives, as well as an EVGA GTX 560 Ti 2gb graphics card. After install and configuration, there was a marked performance increase...with Windows 7 showing a 7.8 experience score for graphics. The machine also runs very cool.
For gaming, I can now enjoy playing games at full maximum or near max settings with 1920 x 1080 (i.e. 1080p) resolution (as an example, the graphically intense and jaw-dropping beautiful Witcher 2 runs flawless at absolute maximum **except** I keep 'ubersampling' turned off). I really am quite impressed.
If you are going to attempt a similar upgrade, please be aware...
The case is small, but with careful planning, everything will fit as expected and I experienced no unusual hiccups during installation (I cannot vouch for longer graphics cards (10+ inches), but the 560 fit like a champ).
so yes it can be done. it obviously has an open pci-x slot

Well I'm just gonna go ahead and give my answer if want to get a modular power supply and not worry about space then get this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... but if you want more power for the same about and non modular then get this http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681... . Either way your gonna need one of the two because that card requires a 400w power supply and with both power supplies you get a little more power just in case it's needed. But the card you have is good and will work and will max minecraft no problem with 40 to 50+ fps. I really suggest those to because skipping and getting a cheaper power supply and mess your whole computer up if it's not built right and antec and corsair are good company's.
the guy in the post said he needed a modular psu...those arent cheap. heres my suggestion on a nice upgrade. not too expensive.

a great corsair psu with modular plugs for 59$
http://www.ncix.ca/products/?sku=74900&vpn=GV%2DR777OC%...
and a 7770 on sale should push minecrtaft well past 50+ fps

That's the power supply I suggested him and the one I gave was cheaper... But as far as the card goes is up to him but still I think the 7750 will do just fine for what he wants
The card he gave the 7770 should get you about 121 fps window mode and about 75 maxed. Maybe this will help http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Hardware_performance
from what i saw here: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Hardware_performance
the 7770 is pushing 120fps
the 7770 is pushing 120fps
If you don't want to spend over 150 and want the best for that price and it will beat the 7770 this will beat that and get better fps also with the $20 mail in rebate your only spending 130 and about 4 on shipping http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
as you can see here: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-car... the 650ti is only 2 teirs higher than the 7770 and in benchmarks ive seen between the two the 650ti consistantly gets maybe 10-20 fps higher
Should work fine but do keep in mind like arich5 said "If you are going to attempt a similar upgrade, please be aware...
