Hi. I am getting a new graphics card but I don't know if it is compatible with motherboard and if my psu has enough power. Is my motherboard compatible, and does my psu have enough power? (Psu has about 150-200 watts) Thanks.

The second one is better, but it is AMD so it doesn't have Shadow Play.

From what I have been told Zotac isn't the best quality. And you are going to need a new PSU.

Just to clarify though, it is compatible with my pc? Also do you have an idea of how many watts I will need?
Thanks for replying!

Thanks! You have been very helpful. I have one last question though, do you know of any good graphic cards that would run games great and fit in my computer (Preferably an Nvidia card because of shadowplay) I would like for the budget to below 300, 200 would be great!
Thanks!

I just realized that is about 400-500 dollars in the US. Last question I promise xD. Would this one fit? It is fairly cheap.
