picked up a new pc this morning as a bit of an impulse buy

its a hp pavillion 500 120ea and was an ex display model priced at £230

its spec

i5 4440
6gb ram
intel 4600 graphics
1tb wd hard drive
dvd burner

i bought this with a view to using it mostly for solid works and adobe cs6 , but havent actually installed these yet.

apparently it can take 16gb ram , which i will probably order from crucial @ £114
what about the graphics ? what would be a good card that isnt going to draw lots of power as it only has a 300w power supply unit

The new 750Ti is your friend. Very low power usage and it outperforms XBOX ONE on Titanfall. (750Ti needs just under 100W)

Edit: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487024 About $130 after rebate and code if done today (not sure how it will work for Russia, though)

Edit 3: Newegg says it needs 300W power supply.
