Would the GTX 750ti be compatable?

[ThatGuyAroundTheCorner]

Well, gents.

I've got a nice OEM PC, the eMachine et1331g which includes a Delta 300w PSU and an mcp61m-gm FM2 motherboard

The PC uses a Athlon x2 250u CPU and a decent OEM heatsking cpu fan.

Can I slap on a GTX 750ti to the PC?

There aren't any drivers for my integrated GPU on windows 10 so I need a nice low power gpu asap

Yes. The 750 takes its power from the PCIe buss exclusively. The Athlon will be your choke point. You should be able to get some decent lite gaming out of it. Be sure to upgrade your ram as well. And for heaven’s sake throw an Athlon 860K in that box! [of course once you do all that a new power supply is warranted, 450 watt should suffice.]

Win 10 has all the drivers pre-loaded. Make sure that you allow time for the Nvidea software suite to download and install before you try anything taxing.

I recently did the same thing with a Dell... but it had an i5 and a B85 motherboard... Still the 750 is a nice mid range card. I recommend the EVGA version.

You sure? I heard the 750 Ti requires some decent ampage on the PSU, my OEM psu has 2 12v's.

One 12v 1 says 10amps and 12v 2 says 12 amps, Is that really okay for a 750Ti? I've got 2 processors, X2 250u (uses 20 watts) and a Athloin X2 5400+ (i think its 90 watts) and if I use the Athlon X2 5400+ with the GTX 750ti with my cruddy 300w OEM psu, would it be okay?

I own one. Its in the computer I am using right now. I have a EVGA 450W and it works fine. Runs Tomb Raider, StarCraft2, TF2 and several others with no difficulty on high to ultra. If the card needed more amperage than the PCIe could deliver, there would be a 6 pin for it, and there is not.

there are gtx 750 ti's that run purely on the power of the pcie slot

your cpu will severely limit the card though, so get a quad core as soon as you can
