ive got an old hp p7-1254 im trying to bring to tip top shape to serve as a gaming rig untill i can afford a decent new pc. i overclocked the cpu from 2.2 ghz to 4ghz and tested all the cores at 100% untill it rested at a steady reasonable temperature. im wandering if anyone can help me with finding the best graphics card for the aahd2-hy motherboard and that will work with 300 watt power supply. i do also have a old dell xps 410. with 375 watt power supply, idk if i could rip that out and stick it this one to power a better graphics card, or perhaps i need to buy a new power supply as well.
the most graphically enhanced game id be trying to play is probably skyrim. which i can play on lower settings as of now, but im just trying to find out if i can get a good card for cheap and maybe max out the settings.


system specs are:
