Graphics Card support
Hi. I'm thinking of buying a new graphics card but I want to know if my PC will be able to handle it and whether it'll work smoothly with my processor. I'm using a Dell latitude E6440, core i5-4300M, 8GB RAM, and a 65W power supply.

There is no graphics card to buy for this system. Either it has an Intel GPU or a hybrid Intel-nVidia setup. If your current system is Intel only, you will need to replace the mainboard, heatsink assembly and power adapter to upgrade to an nVidia board.
The board:

(you'll need the new heatsink and a 90W or better AC adapter to power it).
There is no way to add a graphics card to this system -- either type has the GPU soldered to the system board.

You cannot move your current CPU - it is soldered to the system board.
If you want both the nVidia GPU and the faster processor, you will need to source a board that has both.

Thank you very much. Also I noticed a 2.0Ghz value on the board you recommended. Will attaching my current processor to it make it the 2.6GHz my processor is?
