First you need to open the case and read the sticker on the power supply to see how strong it is. For any graphics card there will be a recommended minimum power supply. Also look for if the power supply has any 8 pin power cables that are not being used. Then you can start looking for graphics cards that (1) do not require more power than you have and (2) will be able to be plugged in.
