Hi! I bought this computer a year ago intially for school but now my friends are away in college and the only way to keep up with them is through online gaming. I'm looking to buy a graphics card that doesn't require a power connector and can be supported with my stock 300w power supply, I'm only really looking to play games like minecraft and cs go nothing really too demanding. Im also not interested in changing power supply because this motherboard has a 12 pin atx power connector instead of the usual 20-24 pin Thanks :)

Specs:
Intel Core i5-4440 Processor (3.1 GHz)
4 GB DDR3 RAM
1 TB 7200 rpm Hard Drive
Intel HD Graphics
300w power supply
 
The 750Ti would be an option as there are versions which dont need a separate power cable and 300w is the minimum.

You should check with Gateway that the upgrade will be ok. I have seen Dell and Asus restrict upgrades on pre-builts by having a BIOS which will only accept certain components, I have no idea if Gateway may do the same
