Is this a pre-built computer? You have to be more detailed with the CPU, there are a lot of Pentium CPUs out there.

I would say, look towards a gtx 750 ti. Because the 650 ti requires a PCI power source.

Look at this one, it'll perform better

Or this one, it's a non SC edition

They're about the same price. But here's the problem I have. That 450 watt PSU, like I asked, is it a computer from someone who built it? (Like HP, dell, or a 3rd party builder) so the power supply worries me. Because most of the time, they cheap out on it. Why I recommended the 750 ti, because

1. it uses less power
2. It doesn't need the PCI e cable to get its power
3. It will beat the 650 ti, good thing is that it comes with 2gb of memory, and comes in the same size. Don't get those dual fan cards, but then you'll need more power for it.

I would say, also get a better quality PSU, from Corsair. But I would like to know if it's a computer from Dell or something.

That power supply has me VERY worried.

It only provides 240 watts (20 amps) on the +12v rail.

Your computer *might* need more than that. Also, the brand is a no-name brand, which *might* mean very cheap (subpar quality).

What is the exact model processor that you have?

its Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5400 @ 2.70GHz 2.69GHz

and the psu is ODYSSEY July-2013 KY-550ATX 34A 14A 0.5A 0.8A 2A 450W
AC INPUT 115/230V, 10/5A,50/60Hz
model no. 450PA 10091

P.S. Do you have another power supply already that you might be able to use. If so what model?
Do you think you want to try getting a power supply to go with the video card? If so, which video card are you leaning towards and what is your budge for a power supply? Do you just want one that handles this video card or a power supply that you can re-use in future years for a planned system upgrade?

my budget is umm 4000, or 5000 at most (rupees) for psu.
and i will buy NVIDIA 750 ti
AND YEAH want a power supply that I can re-use in future years for a planned system upgrade.

Like I said, look around with the corsair or xfx power supplies. I recommend a 500 watt psu, in case you later want to add more upgrades.

Look out for power supplies with at least a 80+ bronze rating. You can get them cheap around 50 bucks.
