What kind of video card could I upgrade Gateway DX-4860 with?

[burnertd907]

I have a Gateway 4860

Gateway Desktop PC DX Series DX4860-UR28(DT.GE0AA.004) Intel Core i5 3330 (3.00 GHz) 8 GB DDR3 1 TB HDD Intel HD Graphics 2500


R2 600W atx 12v 2.3 PSU
Win 10 64 bit Home

Currently running on integrated Intel Graphics.
I vaguely recall I originally bought this hoping to add a video card (Radeon 7850) but it would not fit because of motherboard specifications.
I want to play WoW BfA with better graphics than I have now. Is there any GPU that would fit it? I saw some posts in the forum that seemed to indicate a GTX 750 would fit (I would not want to overclock).....is there anything better?

Thanks for any help!

If you are talking about a 750 non ti, save your money and get a GT 1030, newer card and similar in performance. If you are talking about a 750ti then you may want to look at a GTX 1050 instead however given your 300 watt PSU you are on the edge of what cards can go into that computer. Someone else may have to chime in whose more familiar with that particular motherboard since the 1050 draws its power directly form the PCIe slot and alot of the cheaper boards don't put out the 75 watts required.

Thank you for reviewing my question but the PSU is not 300 watt I replaced it with 600W after I bought it. My main concern is that any new video card will not fit due to motherboard specification. I did some more research of people who have this specific desktop and I do not see anyone with this DX4860-UR28 who have successfully put in any GPU more recent that a GTX 750 and no actual confirmation that any of those GTX 750s will even work with the mobo. The funny thing is I am able to play WoW BfA (with graphics at 3) with it on its Intel HD Graphics. I guess my real question is: Is there anyone out there currently with this specific brand of desktop SUCCESSFULLY using a gtx 750 video card or more recent upgraded card?

I'm not sure what you mean about not fitting, if you have a PCIe slot and the case is big enough then any card besides maybe the largest ones would fit just fine. Certainly a 1030 or 1050 would fit, especially the single fan 1050s which are similar in size to a 750.
