Answer» Well I'm a newbie to computer gaming, and I'm looking to upgrade my comp a bit, for casual gaming. Games like Minecraft, EVE Online, Fallout: NV... but nothing like Crysis 2 or Battlefeild. And I need a bit of help picking a good card that fits my needs, that isn't 500 bucks. (Ill be saving my xmas money)
So about my current rig. It's basically a stock Dell DIMENSION e520. It's got: Intel Core2 Duo E6320 1.86GhH processor 4-8gigs DDR2 RAM (at 4, will upgrade to 2 PCI SLOTS, one PCIe x16 and one PCIe x1 slots
I don't really know what other info could be relevant, please ask if needed. Also I am unsure of my price range (As I don't know how much I'll get) But I'm probably only going to be willing to PAY under 200 bucks. MAYBE up to 250 if i think it's worth the extra buck.
Thank you in advance!TYPICALLY AMD makes better graphics cards (when I say better, I mean in terms of cost/quality ratio). This is the card I am buying for my gaming comp: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127576 You mentioned that it is a dell, so you may need to upgrade your stock power supply. How many watts is it? If you don't have the money to get a new power supply, then get this card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150542 It's not quite as good, but it will run off your current power supply. It also only requires one SLOT to be free and sometimes dell makes the cases so that there is only one free space for the PCI-Express connector.Wow, thanks. That second card is exactly what I am looking for. Seems to be better than anything I had found.
