So im going to the Elysium of PC but a need a bit of opinions and help,

Here is the computer im getting:

http://tinyurl.com/k3x79jm [tinyurl.com]
Basic Specs:
CPU: Intel® Core™ i5 4430 3.0GHz
Memory: 12GB DDR3- SDRAM
HDD: 2 TB HDD
GPU: Intel® HD Graphics 4600 (Integrated Graphics Card)

I had to do a tinyurl because the URL was so large,

Anyway I wanted to know what graphics card I should get as it comes with the Lame Intel® HD Graphics 4600

Any thoughts on how I could upgrade the GFX or would it do fine stock?

Looking to get a GTX 650 ti for this build, but will the motherboard be able to handle it alone?

*Note, I have this already ordered so I cant build my own, just tell me on how I can improve on this rig...

Welcome to Tom's Hardware!

GTX 650ti is a very good choice. You cannot get anything better for $150 and under. I'd still recommend the GTX 660 for a little more, but I do not know what games you play. Some would rather save the difference.

This is your motherboard (with picture):

The GTX 650ti is compatible. Hopes this helps. Cheers.
