Well first of all I found the graphics card that I want to purchase it's the one that I'll link below if there's anything around the price range of $150 AUD that's better then this then could it be linked here? I'd prefer it being delivered from Australia not overseas.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Galaxy-Nvidia-Geforce-GT740-2GB-DDR5-OC-Slim-128-bit-Video-Card-PCI-E-3-0-/331329538040?pt=AU_Components&hash=item4d24c787f8

And also will it work with my PC? The card that I have now is a 2.1 and this one is 3.0 will everything still work and I won't have any problems? And do you think I'll notice a big difference with the one that I have now and the one that I posted.

This is the graphics card that I have right now

This is my motherboard (i3 3.06ghz 540 processor, I haven't clocked it yet I'm too scared to)

And this is my PSU

http://www.globalnavtronics.com.au/Ritmo_Force_680_120MM_Fan_Power_Supply_p/force680.htm

It's a 4 year old rig and I only do light gaming on it like CS:GO and Rust and a couple others, most of my settings are on low on CS:GO and I also play in a window mode and I'm averaging at around 80-90 fps I'd like to increase that a tiny bit. I'd buy a whole new rig but this does the job for now and with a newer graphics card I might be able to increase my FPS a bit better then what it is right now. (I play without a config file to increase FPS)

I just basically don't want to buy it and have problems getting it to work or it might not fit. I would rather ask first and be sure everything will work alright. And yeh if there's any other graphics cards that are $150 AUD or below I would appreciate it if you posted the links in here.

Thanks.

I've listed my PSU in my original post it's a Ritmo Force 680. I know most of my internals are old but I hope my PSU will have enough power to support my card and everything else.

Would you recommend any other graphics cards? Or would I see a big difference with the one that I listed in my original post and the one that I have in my PC now.

Thanks.

I'm sorry I didn't even notice that you added that link in you're post. They go for about $180 in Australia because I can't order anything off Amazon..

Thanks.

+ I wouldn't be able to sit it nicely into my PC because the metal surrounding wont suit the rear of my PC.
