im a little tech savvy but not nearly as much as any of the people on here so i thought i would ask which graphics card can i run on a barebone asus m32cd with an i7 core processor i was possibly looking at a ASUS Geforce GTX 1050 O2GB but im not sure if its compatible any suggestions im just looking to play battlefield without the lag from the stock graphics card

basically any* card should fit in hehe, once it physically fits, all PCIe cards are supported, but check PSU wattages and such,  that's really it, if you're buying a large make sure it fits too.

the stock psu is running at 350 watts probably not enough i just wanted to make sure anyone of them would be supported before buying a new psu and turning out that the graphics card doesnt even work thanks for the quick reply

does it come with an extra PCIe cable for a GPU (6+2 usually) but the GTX 1050 reference doesn't need any extra power, and 350 watts is more than enough for it, I think the GTX 1050ti reference (I don't think Nvidia actually made a reference card but they did make reference specification ) is also powered from the PCIe lane only. Usually I don't suggest Molex to PCIe adators but the GTX 1050 is so low power that I'd say even if it does have a 6 pin, the molex could power it. 

Yours faithfully
