Upgrading the Acer Aspire M3802

[Reznik]

Hello, I have the above mentioned computer, the specs are listed here:
http://reviews.cnet.com/desktops/acer-aspire-am3802-u9062/4507-3118_7-33847476.html
AT 8 GB RAM I think I am ok in that department, but the computer is used primarily for gaming so I would like to upgrade the graphics card. Since the power supply is only 300W I think I would need to upgrade that as well. My problem is that I am not very technical and I am not sure what the maximum ammount of watts the motherboard can handle. I'm also not sure what power supply and graphics card will physically fit in the smaller computer case. I am currently looking at a GTX 460 1GB graphics card, and a 475W power supply but again I am unsure if they will fit. Thanks in advance, any advice regarding this computer is helpful as I am unable to afford a newer comp

I, too, need to upgrade the M3802. I sent for a new audio card and got the wrong type. I need to know what size PCI card I need? The one I got didn't fit.
