It looks like recasing is my only option, then. I'll nip in to my local computer shop in a few weeks and see how much they would charge. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to give me advice.

I hadn't thought about recasing, but that's an interesting suggestion. Might look into it if there aren't any other options, thanks. I found this card, which I think would fit, and I've found some info that says it only uses less than 50W. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-Radeon-Graphics-Profile-Warranty/dp/B004XANP0U/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pdT1_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=OGG172QZ6AVF&coliid=I1B0JYKNMD00XO Might that be an option?

That's a bit frustrating. Are there any cards at all that I could use to improve performance beyond the onboard graphics, or am I stuck? Thanks

This is the information I could find on the PSU: Model HK280-86FP AC input 200-240V-50/60Hz, 3A Output Watt 180W+5.08V&+3.3V=80W +5.08V&+3.3V&+12V: Combined output not exceed 170W I'm not particularly fixed on the card that I linked to. I'm just looking for a reasonably priced card (cheaper than that one, ideally) that will fit in my pc and improve performance. Thanks again for the help, I appreciate you taking the time.

I think the model number is 7781 Thanks

The model is Lenovo H330/5 I3 Thanks

Thanks for the quick response. My specs are: Operating System Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1 CPU Intel Core i3 2120 @ 3.30GHz 43 °C Sandy Bridge 32nm Technology RAM 8.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 940MHz (9-9-9-24) Motherboard LENOVO To be filled by O.E.M.

Hello, I bought a new desktop about six months ago and I've decided I'd like to upgrade the graphics. I'm new to this, so I'm struggling with knowing which cards my pc can support. Specs are as follows: Lenovo PC Intel Core i3-2120 3.30 Ghz 8.00 Gb Ram 64 Bit Windows 7 Home Intel HD Graphics Family I'd like to add a graphics card, although I don't want something too high spec. Could I get a new card without upgrading the processor or power supply? You can probably tell that I don't entirely know what I'm talking about! This is the card I have my eye on: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-Nvidia-GeForce-Graphics-Express/dp/B0087YADCG/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=OGG172QZ6AVF&coliid=I23T8WDU76GB21 I'd be really grateful for some advice, thanks
