Acer Aspire m3201 GPU upgrade

[AlbanHampton]

Alright guys, so I'm trying to "pimp" up my nephews Acer Aspire m3201, current specs are;

Acer rs780hvf Motherboard

AMD Phenom(TM) 8450

2GB DDR 2 RAM

ATI Radeon HD 3200 integrated graphics

ATX 250PA 250w PSU


So I want to upgrade the graphics card and possibly the RAM, I was thinking a SAPPHIRE RADEON HD5670, and 8GB DDR2 RAM, is this possible with this PSU? Also, there doesn't seem to be any additional 6 pin connector with the PSU, as I am used to building higher spec cards, does this mean this card doesn't need a connector from the psu? Like is the power from the pcie slot sufficient? Ty in advance

Your psu is generally inadequate.
A HD5670 will need a psu in the 400w range.
Here is a chart:

Also, the 5670 is not a strong card that can be considered as good enough for gaming.
Some options that would work:
GT730(64 bit version, not the slower 128 bit)
GTX750
GTX750ti , a version which is not overclocked needing aux 6 pin power.

And... do what you can to get 4gb.
