My computer can't run games very well, like for example: Fable 3, Skyrim, Star Wars TFU2, Call of duty etc. I really want to play games like that.
Here is my PC

I have a 250watt power supply, do I have to get a new power supply to get a new graphics card since mine is kind of low? Somebody recommended this video card because it doesn't require a very big power supply. Will this card run those games good? If not, what should I get? Under 60$

The 5450 is what I use when I don't change the PSU.

However gamers tend to want more. Here's the list and if you look at the requirements I would go for another PSU.

okay, would they run games on low, med, or high? Which one?
What is the cheapest graphics card that can run those games on high? Do I need a new power supply?
Low.

Why would I write that? See the card compared to others on the list at tomshardware. It's better than most onboard cards and is cheap and safe for the one does not replace the PSU.

I have to ask why did you ask about this one? Over the line and even exactly the Watts is just a bad idea.

With this PSU
