Upgrading my Gateway FX6850-51's Graphics Card

[Valkyrie96]

Hello, I was wondering if I could upgrade my PC's graphics card to a GTX 970. If not any suggestions as to what would work?

Also, any suggestions as to what else I should upgrade? PC specs can be seen here

Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated.

First, so we are on the same page here... is this your PC? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883113161
If so, a GTX 970 will work and will fit, but your PSU will need to be upgraded. The GTX 970 is a 145W card at the very least and requires a high quality 500W PSU (or better) with 2 x 6-pin connectors.

Yes, that is the PC I have. I assumed that I would have to get a new PSU. Thank you for the answer!
