I have a gt730 I can play most tables with out any problems, but I wish I would of bought the 750 at least. And my power supply is 250w. And I know the low profile 750 uses the same wattage as the 730. So you should be okay. I read somewhere they use 35watts.

ATXPOWERSUPPLIES.com has manufactured bolt-in 250-watt replacements for the old Delta 220-Watters, but at $90 for only 30 additional watts.....? Plus, I'm not sure there's room for a fan in the PSU's main case, which is smaller than the original (mounting plate has the same hole spacing, of course)

Wonder how many other PSU makers are out there?

Hey man... just go here and download   http://www.cpuid.com...ares/cpu-z.html

 

It's super well-known and free... totally safe.  You can get all your computer stats in detail at the click of a button.  Always useful to have this on-hand if you are updating or a bunch of other reasons.

 

As far as a video card... you will definitely want one.  They are all pretty standard now, the big thing is not getting one that is too physically big to fit in your case.  If your main concern is running VP you will not need the newest most expensive card... anything in the 760 range or higher is going to do you just fine.  Right now you have what is called on-board video, which is not very good.  It means the video is controlled by a weak chip on your motherboard.

 

I looked at some GTX 760 cards on Newegg & they cost about twice the price of a GTX 750Ti. So I'm looking at the 750Ti but would want to change the 250W PSU on my PC. I have a couple spare PSUs that would do the job but have to open up the old PC to verify it takes a standard PSU which IIRC it does.

The 60's are generally a big bump up from the 50's.  Nvidia has weird numbering for their cards.  Make sure you read some product reviews to compare.

Don't thank me, I didn't recommend the program & am presuming you're referring to CPU-Z.

Drybonz & GSGregg are the ones that mentioned it. FWIW I've also had it on my PC for several years.

Right Brer Frog, i was referring to CPU-Z. 

And yes it was Drybonze who recommended the program.

Yes, Gateways are not upgradeable I heard. I have an old  gateway XP pentium 4. It will only play VP8 tables.

Now THAT'S sad. At least i can play both vp8 and vp9. VP10 will have to wait.

If Getways computers aren't upgradeable then forget it. VP10 won't be playable anytime soon.

Pity. The vp10 tables graphics are EXCELLENT. 

Gateways not Getways, bad grammar    hehe
