Actually, this PC is pretty good besides the old GPU. I would suggest an Radeon HD 7750, it doesnt require a new PSU, and it has a lot more power then the old GT 545 thats in that PC.

What is your overall budget?

Don't really have a budget, but I obviously don't want to be spending money when its not necessary. Would the card fit on the motherboard and in the case?

And thanks for the reply.

If I was you, I would upgrade your PSU to a Corsair CX500, and then add a HD 7850 or a GTX 650ti Boost. Those are very good cards and will go with the i7 nicely for decent gaming.

Your motherboard has a PCI-Express 16x slot that you need, and your case appears to be able to fit mid-sized cards.

You do need a better PSU if you want a GPU better then a HD 7750.

Thanks for your feed back I'll open the case tomorrow and see how much room there is inside and get back to you.

I haven't had time to look inside the pc but I have looked up the gtx 650ti boost and looks to be a similar size to the old gt 545
