What is the best inexpensive upgrade for my Graphics Card?
Link to the official product page:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam...
Current Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 7660D (PCI E x16 Slot available for upgrade)
Processor Model: AMD Trinity Quad-Core A10-5700 (TDP: 65W)
Available PSU: 300W (100V-240V)
The rest is on the link above.
What upgrade options do I have, assuming that my price ceiling is $300, not including shipping?
I just realized I have no idea how PCIe ports work, beyond 'plug stuff in and it works'. Can I plug a card with PCI Express 3.0 into a 'PCI Express x16' port, for instance?
@Anon: If anything, I'd go for a GeForce GTX 650. The current card was what shipped with the tower, which is why I'm replacing it.

your power supply isn't enough for a discrete video card.
AMD video cards suck.
If you can afford it after power supply get a Geforce 660.
if you don't play games that use PhysX (borderlands 2, batman, and a couple others) then an AMD card is viable but seriously AMD sucks shet.

Definitely upgrade your PSU, as for the video card, a 7850 would be better. And I don't "think" they're more than 300.

You should upgrade your power supply before upgrading your GPU, otherwise you're going to run in to power problems.
