sure I actually made a good one not to long ago that wont be maxing any games out but at 1080p all AAA games will play at at least low setting or higher

This is $15 over but I guess if you wanted to you can put the gpu down a bit more but I would try and leave it if you can. At this budget any more you put into it you will see huge performance increase i'd say every $50 you put into it it will get about 50% stronger.

u r saying me to go with gtx 740 instead of gtx 76o. both the cards does give the same performance plus replacing the PSU. right brother ?
but i need this card what i have to do for this one with least modifications ?


If you really want it then you only need to upgrade the psu but to be honest I would personally prefer to get a full system for around 250, but to answer your question you really only do need a new psu.

you can change the psu no problem but you really wont be using the card you could get a gtx 740 and get the same performance thats what I mean.

Kingston 1.2 v 4gb ram DDR2
Intel dual core processor.
it is an old Desktop... but now i want to add Asus Gtx 760 to it. help plz


You'll never see the full potential of that card in a system so old, the card will be severely bottlenecked.

you will need more power it will be dangerous to run it with 300w you can run it without using the power cables but I dont recommend it at all, also do you already have it because it will be bottlenecked(other components wont use it to it's full potential) because a 750 ti or even lower card would be a better choice, maybe even save up a little more for a full system build

I hope I helped just ask if you didnt understand what I said i'm here to help and i'll try my best as will everyone else.
