Best AMD R5 435M upgrade

[mike_52]

My {avilion Desktop has the above video card.  It no longer meets the minimum spec for some games.  I see that my PSU is only 180 watts and has a non-standard fitting.  Is it possible to upgrade the card without changing the PSU?  If not how would I find an upgrade to my PSU?

Thanks I'd already worked that out. The trouble is that there don't seem to be any cards that are worth getting with such a low power consumption. The PSU seems non-standard so I was wondering how to upgrade that.
