Okay, one of my friends wants to upgrade his GPU, but he doesn't know what graphics card his computer can handle :L

Processor: Intel Pentium E5800 3.2 GHz
PSU: 500w
RAM: 4Gb
Motherboard: H-I41-uATX (Eton/EtonL)
1 PCI Express x16 slot for graphics card

Can anyone Help ?

Is it a no name brand 500w or a quality 500w. It sounds like a prebuilt computer which means the 500w is probaly crap. If so I would reccomend a 7790.

That's a good psu. Sadly though, almost anything he buys will be bottlenecked by that CPU.

Maybe not something that low end, but something that low end won't offer good gaming performance at all.
