Video card upgrade for eMachines et1831-07?

I want to upgrade the video/graphics card, what would be the lowest price for one? I have never upgraded a video card so I don't even know where to begin to search for one! It comes with NVIDIA GeForce 7050. Thank you!|||I have the ET1810 which is in the same case and i used a



NVIDIA GeForce 9500GT 1GB DDR2 PCI Express Graphics Card

your computer uses PCI express



Rocketfish™ - 500-Watt ATX CPU Power Supply



make sure you get a MODULAR power supply with SATA connectors because you're gonna need 2 long SATA cables with this case I had to return my non-modular power supply because the cables didn't reach



notes:don't be afraid to install it its simple go on youtube & look at some install videos thats what I did



IF THE CARD DOESN'T FIT LOOSEN THE SCREWS TO THE OUTER SHELL OF THE CASE THEN IT SHOULD POP IN



I wish I could install it for you its so easy|||The good news is that you have a PCI Express x16 slot on your motherboard for a graphics card. The bad news is that it has a 250W power supply. Unless you plan to also upgrade your power supply in order to support a better card, the only card that I would use in that system is the HD 5450 which has a max power draw of 20W. Anything more powerful than that without a power supply upgrade will almost certainly cause your system to crash from being underpowered. The card with the next lowest power draw is the HD 5550, draws 40W leaving the rest of your system with only 210W, which will most likely cause it to crash.

Don't expect greatness, this is an entry level card with limited performance. As I said, if you would like to use a better card you must first upgrade your power supply to meet a cards power requirements.

Here's videos that show how to install a graphics card.

250 watt power supply is not enough for most video cards. An ATX size power supply fits the case.
