    For a better graphics card, you will need to replace your powersupply also. What is your budget for this upgrade?

    Hi LFoste2.
    welcome to Techspot. well your going to need a new PSU, and here is why.The 6150 graphics card you refer to is actually integrated graphics, and even a low end card that does not require any additional power connectors, and gets all it needed power from the PCIE slot,(i believe this one draws a meager 45w if memory serves) like this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814103055
    requires a 300w power supply. what exactly do you expect from a new graphics card, or what do you want to be able to do? and as Techno asked, whats your budget for this upgrade?
