Just in case my kids want to play games when they get a bit older. 5 year old is already into games on ps3.

True. Wouldnt mind upgrading the psu though. 250watts is a bit low but wouldnt mind a 300 or 350.

What if I upgrade the psu?

Thanks Ancalagon44. Thats exactly what I thought as well. I would rather a brand new one that comes with warranty, than a card that doesn't. Just incase something goes wrong with it.

Can someone tell me if an AMD Radeon 6760 card is any good if its 2yrs old. Have been offered one for $100. Is it better than the GT 650?

Ok, thanks Ancalagon44. Was planning to get the 750ti but with your recommendation, I think it would have been a bad idea considering my computers about 6-7yrs old. Would the Gt 650 be ok.

So the 750Ti would not work unless I upgrade the psu. No not interested in playing modern games. Only games on facebook most likely. What does OEM system mean and overclocking.

Great, I have a shop here in Townsville that sell this, ASUS GTX750TI-OC-2GD5 GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready Video Card, for $229 Australian. Will buy it and see how it goes. Will reply back how it goes.

Thanks as well mistersprinkles. Might go with the nvidia Gtx 750Ti. Will it run ok on 250watt psu or should I upgrade it.

Thanks ketchup79. Im not into playing games on it apart from facebook games so GTX 650 looks ok for me. Will check the 750ti out though if I dont need to upgrade the psu. Thanks for your help again. Im not much of a computer expert so your input has been of great help.

Ok, thank you ketchup79. Appreciate your help very much.

It also says code 43, if thats any help.

Whenever I play any video the computer crashes with bsod and the resolution is only on 640×480. Wont let me change to recommended settings. I have a widescreen hd monitor.

In device manager it says that there is trouble with it and its not working. Hardware diagnostics check said everything is ok apart from the nvidia card. I would probably upgrade the psu to 300 watts if needed. Not sure how much I plan on to spend yet. Depends on what I can replace it with.
