I am currently trying to upgrade my computer right now my current specs are

I7-2600k
12GB Ram
2TB Western digital hard drive

But I have intel graphics which im trying to replace.

My computer is pre built and im trying to put a more powerful graphics card in my computer so would i need to replace the power supply. If I need to replace the power supply how many watts would I need to run my computer right.

Another question how can I tell how many watts my power supply is since it is pre-built

Lastly Im trying to buy a graphics card with a budget of $200 USD Im looking to get this one right now [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] But if there are any better ones please post below

if i was you i would save up your money to buy a 7950 =)
its 100$ more but its more bang for your buck

in order to tell how much watts u got and the brand, you will have to open up your computer ( easily done by removing case screws.) and it should say name brand and how much watts. if you want to upgrade it, you will have to remove all the cables carefully, and then install a new psu the same exact way =).

You're going to need to open your case in order to see what wattage you have.

What games will you want to play at what setting?
