Hello, I also have this model and want to upgrade my video card.

My current card is the NVIDIA GeForce GT 545 (3 gbs) and I need to upgrade it. I would like to have the NVIDIA GTX 750 Ti. I had been looking at this Gigabyte GV-N75TOC2-2GI GTX 750 Ti GDDR5-2GB 2xHDMI OC Graphics Cards GV-N75TOC2-2GI

 

However, I am unclear as to whether my computer can take this card. I am also open to other suggestions. I need a better card for gaming and media production. I'm trying to keep the cost under $200 if possible.

My operating system is WIndows 10.

I have the eight-core AMD Fx (TM) 8150 processor, 3.60 gzh, 12 gigabytes of ram,  X64.

 

Thank you kindly for any assistance you can offer.

It is always important to mention your original OS.

In your case, the h8-1230z circa Feb 2011 would be a Legacy BIOS v7.16 machine, and not capable of accepting a UEFI vBIOS (v8+)  upgrade.  With that said, your limited to only cards that are Legacy or have a hybrid BIOS (having a micro switch) to toggle either Legacy or UEFI. Please consult this page.  MSI makes hybrid cards, and their N750Ti series  fits your inquiry.
