Help on Prebuilt PC GPU choice

[Jtgrimes]

So my friend bought a Pre-built PC for gaming on and it has no Graphics card, I haven't checked it out yet but if it can handle it i Was thinking about telling him to get a Radeon 7770. The next step down i would have recommended is the Radeon 7750. This PC is gonna be for gaming and his budget is $100, Anyone have some better ideas?

Both good ideas depending on PSU size. The 7750 will run on 300watts the 7770 350watts if it has PCIe power connector.

Great, thanks. I am going over there friday so What I am looking for is a 350w psu and a 6 pin PCIe. Correct? If it doesnt have those things thing I should tell him to get the 7750 then. One last question, How well will this GPU perform I know its a pretty low-budget card but for example what settings do you think it will run Skyrim on? (Thats his main game right now)
