Will this graphics card work with my PC?

[doominator]

Hi thanks for helping!

 

Its time to upgrade my PC for gaming but I have no experience with this sort of thing (the PC was pre-built).

 

This is my PC: http://www.meetgadget.com/gadget/14380/Packard+Bell+iPower+X3.0

 

I am looking at the AMD Radeon HD 7850 card shown here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gigabyte-mini-Displayport-PCI-Express-Graphic-GV-R785OC-2GD/dp/B007PJTNYS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1379199058&sr=8-1&keywords=Gigabyte+AMD+Radeon+HD+7850+2+GB+GDDR5+DVI-I%2FHDMI%2F2x+mini-Displayport+PCI-Express+3.0+Graphic+Card+GV-R785OC-2GD

 

It seems that my PC can fit this card but im not sure if there is anything im overlooking. It would be horrible to buy it then realise something is wrong haha.

As long as you have a 500w+ PSU in your PC you shouldn't run into any problems.

Hi and welcome to ExTS

 

I have just had a look at the specs you provided ............. I don't seem to be able to locate the PSU that you have.

There will be a label on the PSU itself telling you what power ( Watts ) it is.

I guess i better open it up then! Hopefully i don't break it. :/

Hopefully i don't break it.

 

You will not break the PSU :)

 

Make sure that you turn the power off at the wall socket.
