Graphics Card Upgrade for an Hp Pavillon p7-1111

[ziegelstein]

Hey guys, I'm kind of new here, and used this website alot for it's graphics card charts and information on the forums. A friend of mine recently got an Hp Pavillon P7-1111 desktop computer as a gift, and wants to play games on it. They don't need or want to play them on ultra graphics neccesarily but do want to play them without lag. I am willing to upgrade other components if necessary. I wanted to see what the best graphics card this computer could would be given it's power supply etc.
Any help is greatly appreciated .

You will only be able to get a low end GPU with that power supply, a Radeon 6670 is probably the most you can get.

Ok so it has a PCIe and a 300 watt PSU. Because of the small PSU that might limit the video card choices.

Whats the budget?

Off the top of my head I would say go for a 6770 for around $110. That should work but it might be pushing the PSU.

Budget was <$200, so 6770 looks like a good deal, glad to hear I don't have to upgrade the psu, and then the little hp case aswell, thanks very much
