I looked into the 750ti but the RX 460 seems to be faster just wondering if I can put it in.

You will need a new PSU as 275W isn't anywhere near enough for any GPUs. Maybe an RX 470 would work (after the PSU upgrade). 

 

edit: ignore the graphics upgrade option

750ti  should hopefully work.

So my 275W won't be about to handle the RX 460 through the PCI slot alone? Even though Austin was able to run the RX 460 on a 240W PC.

 

Oh, I didn't know that, I'm slacking. In that case, I'm guessing that only specific low power versions of the card would work.

The RX 460 should be fine. It should be a Delta PSU, which'd be fine op for slight overdrawn if necessary.

Can you link me to that video? seems interesting...

 

Anyway, as far as I know, the RX 460 will work if it and the CPU consume around just 220-240W. Add your CPU's and GPU's TDP, and add a 50W more (for the motherboard through the 24-pin...) and see whether it's below 275W (your PSU's rated capacity). If yes, proceed with caution...

Alright thanks. Since the PSU in the computer doesn't have any pin connectors for GPU, does that mean I can get any version of the Rx 460 that doesn't have a power connector and just put it in?

Yeah.

Will do that. Here's the link to the video:

 

It runs pretty well! I didn't notice him mentioning the PSU wattage, but if you're sure about the TDP of the RX 460 of your choice to be pretty low, then definitely try it! It's certainly a game-changer, provided you already have a pre-built (If you don't, you're obviously better off building one from scratch yourself!). But again, do make sure the total power consumption is atleast 20-25 W below your PSU wattage!
