I don't see how putting a 750 Ti in it could be considered crazy, it's designed to be put into systems like that. It's also the cheapest Nvidia GPU that's worth a damn in games.

use Specy to verify the mobo

 

generally the GTX750/Ti will be a good GPU upgrade

 

 

but I seriously get a new PC

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.
