When the time comes to pick components for an upgrade, you can feel free to PM me or post a thread and myself or another member (Don't just listen to any ol' member though, you can tell who knows what here and some of them really don't.) will be glad to help you configure a build that will serve your needs well for the future but be within your budget.
They are both accurate in that the recommendations listed will meet or exceed the actual requirements for each given card.):

That being said, upgrade those two items now and save for your other components until you can easily afford something more recent that will serve you for a longer period of time rather than rush it and end up with another system that will be worthless to you a year from now. At one time it was decent, but that was years ago and even then that PSU would have been a time bomb so it's very fortunate nothing adverse has occurred due to it being there in the first place. The fact is that the system as a whole is rather outdated and low end. So long as you get a PSU of good quality, as discussed, that will be of sufficient capacity, which you can determine from either of these two charts below, for the GPU you decide you will go with, you will be in good shape when it comes time to put the rest of the system together. Upgrading the PSU and GPU are never a bad thing, because they can always be moved to any new rig you build and it just means two less things you have to buy for that build but you can still benefit from them in the meantime since they will work with your current system anyhow. Here's what I'd suggest and you can of course make your own choices. An Antec VP-450 or even a lower tiered Corsair 450w unit would be FAR better than what you've got in there now. You need at LEAST a Tier 3 and preferably a Tier 2B unit from the PSU Tier list. I realize this is an extra investment you didn't plan on, but you'll be very sad if you leave it in and it ruins not only your new graphics card, but the rest of your rig as well. In fact, if it was me, I'd get it out of my computer and replace it with a decent quality unit even BEFORE I bought a new GPU. I would ABSOLUTELY not use that PSU in any system, much less with an aftermarket graphics card you just spent good money on or this is likely to happen: PSU Tier list (Scroll down to tier 5 - Linkworld): Seriously, it's a tier 5 "replace immediately" unit as shown on the PSU tier list.

It's an EXTREMELY cheap PSU and I wouldn't install it in any computer, even if I intended to throw the computer away in two days time. That's a Linkworld unit, and probably a few other cheap brands have slapped their own stickers on it as well. Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Power Supply: Antec 450W ATX Power Supply ($33.98 Directron) PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant Don't assume because a unit has a high 80plus rating that it's good either), which is available in most parts of the world: If not, I'd recommend getting a PSU as well.Įither of these cards, or something similar, would work well for you:Īnd this PSU, if yours is not of sufficient quality (Don't confuse capacity (Amps and watts) with quality. Can you find the model number of your power supply so we'll know if it's capable of handling an aftermarket GPU? Either of these would work well depending on your current power supply. Your system would likely benefit greatly from something like the GTX 750 or R7 250, both of which do not require an additional power supply cable from the PSU. Most graphics cards sell for 50-75% of the new price but do not return 50-75% of the cards lifespan, as compared to a new component.
