Question Wanting to upgrade graphics card setup: GTX 650 1gb - ASUS CM6730 420W PSU i5 2320 3.0ghz

Pretty much what the title asks. I was looking at a PNY 2gb GTX 650 for 40 USD, was wondering if this was a good deal? That was the best I found on eBay, but that got me wondering, if my system could handle something like a 750 or higher, and would there be that much of an improvement for games around the Diablo III era? Not looking to upgrade anything else as funds are very limited, not looking to spend more than 100 USD. If you made it this far, thanks for taking the time to read this. New member here, sorry if I left out any other needed details on my dinosaur like rig

What motherboard and powersupply do you have?

Depending on what your current GPU is, it could be an improvement.

Your system should handle a 750ti without an issue. A 750ti is roughly twice as powerful as a GTX 650.
So to answer your question, it should be a large improvement.

The 750ti even uses 5W less than the 650 so your powersupply should be OK.

Hope I have answered your question
