Post the rest of your computer's specs and the wattage of your power supply.
If it is a prebuilt computer, post the make and model of your PC.

Your answer below.
You need a new PSU if you want a high end GPU. Yours is only a 300W.

Nah. His specs aren't bad. i5 3450, 8gb ddr3, 1tb HDD. If he just upgrades the PSU, he will be fine.

Not really, the specs are decent and pretty new. You will definitely need a new PSU if you wanna upgrade the graphics card and possibly a new case
