Power Supply & Video Card Help/Ordering?

[Mantis00]

I am not a expert on hardware, I never replaced a power supply or added a video card. I would like to add a 500 watt power supply and get a video card since current is integrated and not very good (as u can see below in specs). I would like to order the PS and Vid card online but I would like to know I am ordering right size PS and for 500 watts what video card can I get for my computer. Would appreciate any links to good computer parts online stores since never have ordered parts online. I would like to keep the total price under $175.00 and lower the better.

I should also point out I play WoW and would like to have a card that can support WoW. Does not need to to be max settings, as I would be happy to play raids on medium settings.

My computer is a E-Machine T1352G-03W specs:

CPU : AMD Athlon™ II X2 Dual-Core Processor 260u
(1.8GHz | 2MB Total Cache)
Operating System : Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Better video cards need more power, here is a good one:

Good Luck.

Thank you. My main concern is making sure I have the right parts that can fit my computer. Nothing worse than having ordered something online get it 3-7 days later only to ship it back and wait again.  I just want to make sure I have the right sized PS that will fit my tower. Also have you ordered anything from compUSA.com?

Yes, but I typically go to the store when they have what I need there. I checked your pc hardware details and the parts I linked to are compatable. PSU's are pretty much standard size for any tower, with a few exceptions (yours isn't one). And PCIe is the connection for your gaphics card.

Thank you very much. I will give you a update when I have installed psu and vid card. Hopefully will have no problems.
