Upgrading GT 610 to GTX 750 Ti

[Avalanche11]

Hey guys. As I'm new to PC building I'll ask for help. I'm planning to upgrade my current Nvidia GeForce GT 610 2GB to a new one, GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB GDDR5. What other things I need to change in order to run my new graphic card smooth? I have Intel i3 3250 3.5GHz processor and ASRock H61M-VG3 motherboard. Do I have to change motherboard aswell? If I'm correct, I have 350W PSU.

No, nothing else needs to be changed, all good to go. I'm assuming you have an old Dell PSU?

What's your PSU make and model? 350W should be enough but only if is a good quality PSU, look for the version of the card which doesn't need the additional 6 pin connector.

All the time I thought I understand how my PC is built, but I was completely wrong. So I'll get a link and show some pictures of the inside of my shite PC, would be awesome if you could tell me some things. I've found out that the GPU is integrated, am I correct? If GTX 750 Ti is so big like in a picture, where the hell I should put it in? I pictured my CPU, all of the setup and in the third picture there is RAM and/or second RAM/my GPU, perhaps? I really don't understand right now.

Ok It's pretty simple, the two sticks along each other is the memory ram, at the bottom of your mobo you have a PCIe 3.0 x16 and it seems the connected device is the GT 610 (judging for some images of the GPU I just googled). Again, you should be able to connect the 750TI into that PCIe port thus replacing the GPU, but that PSU doesn't seem to be trusted, even though there're some versions of the 750TI that don't require an additional 6 pin connector (which means less power needed), I wouldn't trust a generic 350W PSU for the upgrade.

What is the total budget for your upgrade?

 

[Avalanche11]

Budget is around 150 euros (GPU + PSU). GeForce GTX 750 Ti costs around 120 euros in Latvia + a decent PSU is 30-40 euros as far as I know, adding some euros shouldn't be a problem. Can you suggest me any good PSU and/or GPU?

This thread will show you what PSU you should and shouldn't ever use:

And as for the GPU, the 750Ti would be the best for you.
