Graphics Card 750ti on my PC? OEM built.

[bikash.jacky]

which Graphics cards are compatible with my system? Intel Pentium Dual core E2200 Processor . Motherboard MSI MS-7525 (Boston), Power Supply cooler master MWE 450 (80+ Bronze).

750Ti should work fine on that, even though it's an HP. Graphics cards have had hybrid vBIOSes now for 10 years, able to boot either as BIOS or UEFI.

The problem is those early UEFI implementations from ~2011 that did not support all UEFI features--the card thinks it's UEFI so selects that mode, resulting in only a black screen. Most aftermarket motherboard manufacturers corrected their firmware to fix this issue but many OEMs did not. Some OEM systems even shipped with a legacy BIOS but had firmware upgrades available with a buggy UEFI--giving you the choice of either running a modern GPU or booting from a 4TB disk.

But that should be no issue for your motherboard which came out in 2007. No UEFI at all there.

For a more questionable motherboard, the best 750Ti of all is the MSI one with a BIOS switch. That one allows you to force either UEFI or BIOS boot so it works on anything.

As you are aware, OEM boards have the most compatibility problems and I explained why. The OEM is HP, who owns Compaq (while the board manufacturer is MSI, HP is responsible for the BIOS). Should work means the 750Ti is likely to work, because your board is too old to have that particular compatibility problem.

well... Since 750ti Draws only 60W i think your PSU its just fine to support it if its along 1 HDD and only 1 SSD.
As for the bottleneck. Dont worry about it there is practically no bottleneck in there.
Im worried about the Ammount of HDDs and SSds that seems to be putting the 450w Psu on a delicated spot here... I would try it anyways with the 450W and if it boots just fine then its ok (Dont worry about this, this will cause no harm to your system) . But i would upgrade to a 520W atleast... Seasonic has a very nice ones at a really nice price...
