Graphics and power supply upgrade help

[Dylan Liam]

Hello, I have a Acer Aspire M3802 ' http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/pcs/276130/acer-aspire-m3802/specifications '

And i was looking to upgrade the graphics with a ASUS AMD Radeon™ HD 6770 1GB ' http://www.maplin.co.uk/asus-amd-radeon-hd-6770-1gb-graphics-card-536897#specification '

And the power supply with this *(450 watt) http://www.amazon.co.uk/WinPower-450W-Power-Supply-PSU/dp/B001LMPEDY/ref=sr_1_13?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1372200826&sr=1-13&keywords=450+watt+psu

And my main problem is, will it all fit? i have a midi tower case, and i dont know if my pc can handle a new power supply or if it has the plug inputs etc. Thats basically my main problem, so it would mean the world to me if you helped out, thanks for your time.

the 6770 is quite a small card, so it will fit easily. pretty much all >1000w PSUs have a universal size.
BTW, my first GPU upgrade was a 5770, and since both cards are the same size, im sure it will fit most prebuilt PCs...

Okay thanks, now i know that it will fit im at ease. But what i was wondering is, does my pc have a pci express 2.1 port on the motherboard and can my motherboard handle a new graphics card? and also, can i just fit a new power supply easy, or do i have to get other things?

Everything should be fine. you have the correct port, and the psu will fit in correctly

Can you check out the PSU i linked(above) and tell me if it has the rails and all that to support basically it all, im not techy myself so i wouldnt know my way around most of it.

Thanks

You might not even need a new PSU. I cant find the specs of ur current one, but it should run fine. the 6770 is not power hungry...

My PSU on the one i have currently is 240-300watt

You should be able to add the 6770 with that PSU at the moment.

Minimum recommend...

I ran mine with a core 2 quad on a 300w psu with no issues. Ive heard of many other people doing the same. Just a thought
