I have this computer: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?lc=en&dlc=&cc=us&lang=&product=3245032& Need to get away from this integrated 6150 LE card.
I want to upgrade the graphics card, but don't want to spend too much money. I was looking for some suggestions. All hardware at the moment is factory besides the RAM. I was looking at this video card : http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_geforce_9400gt_us.html
Said it is usable with 300 power supply minimum. Am I pushing the limits using it? Can this PC handle this video card?
If it can't handle this one. Can it handle this one? http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce_8400_tech_specs.html
It says it needs 71 watts, but I don't know exactly how much this computer uses out of the 300 watts.
Any suggestions on saving money/finding best card for this machine with current power supply? I am willing to buy a new power supply but if I do I want a decent video card to match.
