Looking for a compatible graphics card for a pegatron 2ac2 motherboard (HP Pavilion P7-1030)

[Accoy]

Hi everyone. I have been pulling my hair in anger knowing that I can't get a decent graphics card due to my mother board. I decided to ask the community if they can link me to a compatible GPU to use. I have an Intel Core I3 2100, Pegatron 2ac2 motherboard, 8gb of ram, 60hz 1080p monitor, and integrated graphics.

Information about my computer
Pre-built HP Pavilion P7-1030

Graphics: http://prntscr.com/7lxw5b | http://prntscr.com/7lxw7v

I really need your help. I am also on a budget. I don't plan to play games on ultra settings at 1080p, I am happy with medium-high (or anything I could get really). I appreciate your help

Your pc spec - http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=c02858518

*Internal power supply 250W (100-240V)

Because you have such a small power supply the only card that comes to mind is the gtx750ti. It doesnt require a pcie power cable due to its excellent power consumption thanks to the Maxwell architecture. -http://www.geforce.co.uk/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-750-ti/specifications

http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp - this will give you a good idea of how much power would be required for your system.

What if I replace the power supply? And will the graphics cards you are recommending be good for games like war thunder, cs:go, dayz, gmod, gta v?

750ti benchmark - http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1130

You may want to consider getting a 430W power supply

750 Ti require 20a from the PSU.

OEM PSUs, esp sub 400w ones, typically are pretty low on amperage. You might want to take a look at your PSU sticker and see what it says.

Would a 400wt psu work? I am thinking about this http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Warranty-Power-Supply-100-N1-0400-L1/dp/B00LV8TZAG and then a graphics card you would recommend.

Upgrading this computer is such a struggle and a headache. I appreciate any help.

Antec VP-450 would be a good choice, quality unit.

What is your budget? People can help you better if they know your comfort zone.

That PSU seems to have good reviews on Amazon but I never heard of the brand. As for the price, idk. My parents are tight on money. The 750ti doesn't seem so bad but is there any other graphics cards (better or worse) that would be compatible? I don't want to have any bottlenecking. I appreciate any help <3

Also, I am looking to buy things on Amazon because of free 2 day shipping. But if the prices are lower on other sites including shipping then I will buy it from there.

There is one problem though. AMD graphic cards run warm. I have horrible fans in my pc and they would most likely be loud all the time. Will this also fit into my case?

Good deal.

I believe the 750-ti is only UEFI compatible and my motherboard is legacy I think. I need help

All cards work under "legacy mode".

A lot of cards have issues with UEFI.


you don't have win 8 right?
