Hey guys, beginner computer builder/new to upgrades. So i'm planning to buy a new graphics card in the mere future, but my PC has integrated graphics. any help?
PC SPECS:
Intel i5 4440 @ 3.10GHz (I don't know how to overclock at all)
8 GB RAM
windows 8.1
300 watt power supply (big downer)
Intel integrated graphics 4600 (The shit that makes games horrible)
Here is a link to the computer, its a pre-built one that i thought i could add onto in the mere future.

Now you might understand why/g hates pre-builds. Your options are to buy a new PSU, or find a very low powered GPU. AMD is coming out with low-powered rx470 model. You can't over clock that CPU, btw. Only k models oc.

Open it up and check if it even has a PCIe 16x slot
Buy a new PSU and the graphics card of your choice and plug them in

Even if it's x8 he should be fine on his budget

Replace the PSU with a custom 500w model, then get yourself any GPU you want above the GTX 750ti
If that's too pricey for you then just get the GTX 750ti or GTX 950 75w model and stop crying

Here's some consideration to take into place.
Your PSU is too low on wattage, probably shitty as well. You might need a new one.
The card you want to buy might not fit into that small case, because most cards are pretty long, around 240mm onwards.
Your motherboard might use a propriety PSU connector, which basically means you are fucked. I know my Acer pre-built did.
