Is there any requirements to upgrade your desktop video card?

I mean, do you need a better motherboard or processor to upgrade your video card?



I am actually planning to upgrade mine, cause last week i bought a desktop computer @ bestbuy and here's the spec.

Note: Please Click on Spec. Tab.



I wanted to upgrade the video card into GeForce GTS 450. Do you guys think that will work?|||It will work.

The only thing you need is a PCIE x16 expansion slot which this has.

Also make sure you PSU is big enough. Try look on the PSU for the wattage. You should need around 500 watts total for this configuration and this even allows for a little bit of wiggle room. Sometimes though prebuilts have very small PSUs like 300 or 400 so check on that (I didn't see it in the spec tab) Other than that GPUs can fit on any motherboard for the most part
