Max. Output Power: 250 W The bad news: you'll have a hard time finding even a low-end graphics card that will (officially) require less than a 350 or 400w power supply.
The good news is that it looks like the PSU is a standard ATX one, so replacing it would be straightforward. (The 140mm length is shorter than some, but I doubt that'll be an issue.)
The further bad news is that good power supplies aren't free. I suggest at least a 500W PSU from one of the trusted makers (Seasonic, Corsair, and Antec, although there are others). | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number homegrown OS Windows 7 Pro X64 SP1 CPU Intel Core I7-3930k Motherboard Asus P9X79 Pro Memory 16 GB Gskill DDR3-2133 Graphics Card eVGA GTX680 Sound Card Creative X-Fi Titanium Monitor(s) Displays As PA246Q Screen Resolution 1920 X 1200 Keyboard cheap Logitech USB Mouse Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer (old optical) USB PSU PCP&C Silencer 750 Crossfire Case Silverstone FT02 Cooling Noctua NH-D14 Hard Drives Corsair Force GT, 120 GB

Is there any chance of you building a new computer in the next year or so.....or after this upgrade, will you keep using this computer for awhile? The reason I ask is because if you are just needing one for this upgrade, you can get away with a lower power unit, but if you plan on building a new computer soon, you should get a better power supply that you can use for the new build. Thinking ahead will save you money. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Built OS Windows 7 Professional 64bit SP1 CPU Intel Core i5-3570K @ 4.5GHz Motherboard Asus Sabertooth Z77 Memory Corsair Vengeance 16GB (4x4) @1866MHz Graphics Card Intel HD4000 Sound Card Onboard Audio Monitor(s) Displays Dell S2309W Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Max Nighthawk X8 Mechanical keyboard Mouse Logitech MX 500 Wired PSU Seasonic X750 80+ Gold Full Modular Case Antec Eleven Hundred Super Mid Tower Cooling Intel Liquid Cooler Hard Drives Samsung 830 128GB SSD - OS
