Upgrading Dell Inspiron 560 GPU to HD7750

[hpkishere]

Hello, as the title says, I want to upgrade my Inspiron 560 to have a better GPU.

My current GPU is Geforce210 and my computer supports PCI express x16.

I've been looking around and I'm interested in Radeon HD7750. Can anyone suggest a cheap place to purchase a HD7750 that is suitable for my Inspiron 560?

Also, my current PSU rating is 300W and I want to upgrade it to support HD7750, please do suggest a good PSU for that. Thank you

Newegg has the asus model for $110 with a $20 rebate available. Amazon has the asus for $110.

Your stock psu will handle the 7750 as it does not need any power other than the pcie slot.

Could u tell us the year when u bought in this rig and some specs(CPU, and chipset) of this machine. I've heard HD 7750 has some issues w/ old rigs before 2009.

i bought it early 2010

Intel Core Duo E7500 @2.93GHz
Chipset is Intel P45/P43/G45/G43

not sure if the chipset is correct, using CPU-z.

So far no issues w/ P43/P45/G43/G45, u'r green light to go. Get HD 7750 and rock'n'roll.

Ok thank you

I've been browsing through amazon and I've decided to buy this :
http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Radeon-PCI-Express-Graphics-11202-00-20G/dp/B007B5V614/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1375102794&sr=8-1&keywords=Radeon+HD7750

All good?

Good. U've made a right choice.

Stick to 1GB GDDR5 version, don't be illusioned by 2GB DDR3 version. DDR3 is slower and 2GB won't help much in entry-level gfx.
