Graphics card upgrade options

[antonazario]

I'm in the process of looking to upgrade my graphics card, but I'm hopeless when it comes to figuring out what will and won't work on my pc. Even by searching, I'm still stumped by the different terms. I've got a HP Pavillion Elite e9107c with a 400W power supply using a ATI Radeon HD 4350. My limit is $100 for a graphics card, I just want something that runs SL at a decent setting til I can upgrade my whole computer

This is one I'm looking at- http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Mini-HDMI-Graphics-01G-P3-1460-KR/dp/B0050I1PHO

Any other suggestions?

don't .... this is in the reviews ...

BEWARE OF POWER REQUIREMENTS. Amazon doesn't tell you this you but EVGA recommend you have least a 450W PSU and a MINIMUM of 24amps on the +12V rail!

That's a sweetheart of a graphics card for that price.

You should also obtain an upgraded PSU. A Rosewill 630 or Corsair 600 .is a recommendation from HP's Blog Site.

These PSU's include the extra connector cable that most higher end GCs require.

ok what will work for that is what ihave since ihave a similar PCI-e mother board as you,,,but you WILL need a new power supply...try RADOEN R7250--- it WILL work if you have a new higher powered supply....also make sure you dont accidently mess up your condensers on your mother board or will will end up messing up the sound--- as i DID :matte-motes-crying:

While you are there uprage your ram...

See i personally have recently upgraded my comp to what i am suggesting...

I hope that helps,
