Recommended and compatible graphics card and PSU.

[hellshaun]

I have a Acer Aspire M3970.
The processor is a Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2300 CPU @ 2.80GHz 2.80 GHz
I have 6GB of ram.
My graphics card is a Intel HD Graphics 1000 (GT1)


I was wondering if anyone knows any decent compatible graphics cards or/and PSU's for it.

My price range is:
Graphics card £80-100.
PSU £40-60.

((Something that can run games on Medium at least. - New-ish games.))

check around and you might ber able to save some, that's just over your top, if you can though i'd up to the cx500, but the 430 should work fine as these new cards are very power efficient

id recommend 500W or more.

there is no need for the 500w or more, the 420 will do just fine running a gpu.

a GPU like this will do just fine running on medium specs

It may run on 430 just fine, but i rather have the overhead for cap aging and such.

Yeah that's why I recommended a 500W unit. Also gives a tiny bit of headroom for upgrading in the future too.
