Windows 10: Need Help Picking Graphics Card

I agree, you should get it running correctly first before you spend money on anything else.

You might need it to buy something you need instead of think you need.

 

Agreed. *Thumbs

 

Thank you all for the help. *Smile I will look into graphics cards reccomended. The EVGA looks good.
I might get the gaming keyboard and mouse first, if it involves a lot of keyboard etc work.
Its very twitchy sometimes.

 

And I'm back! Having forget the website. Stuff happened. Grisly stuff.
The pc kept crashing so it went to the pc doctor. It has a fan now.

I got a new gaming mouse so no more scrolling. The Limp Bizket effect. It kept rollin rollin rollin! Lol.
It has colour changing lightening on it. Much better than the old one.
The keyboard works ok. The mouse made it look worse than it was.

So now to get a graphics card and some more RAM. He said it has a second slot and it has 4 RAM now. I will take it up to 8.
So what search terms do I put in to sites to find the right graphics cards and RAM?
What am I looking for to know its the right thing?
I have been searching for the ones mentioned here.

I want to play online and offline games. Dungeons And Dragons Online, Forsaken World, gamejolt, GOG, steam if I have to, bleh. Most are optimized to run on the lowest pcs anyway. I also need to do image editing, etc.

 

Is this ok. If I look in this line am I looking in the right place?

Gigabyte Nvidia Gt 730 Graphics Card (2GB, DDR3, 64 Bit, PCI-E): Amazon.co.uk: Computers Accessories

 

Another recommend for a GTX750Ti and cheaper at Amazon MSI NVIDIA GTX 750Ti 2 GB 1020 MHz Dvi-D/HDMI Pci-E Graphics Card: Amazon.co.uk: Computers Accessories

 

Here's a newer alternative, although the lowest price models are just over the £100 limit: GTX 1050.

Example: https://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-Geforc...words=gtx+1050

I'm not sure, but it may be the best graphics card you can buy that doesn't need an auxiliary PCI-E power connector. It's also a current model, so it may have driver support for a long time.

However, it really wants a 300W PSU or better. You seem to have never checked what's in the DT1404. (Every PSU I have seen has a sticker giving its ratings. The sticker is not always readable with the PSU installed in the case.) I strongly recommend that you give it a look. Otherwise, the advice you're getting is of limited value.

 

I would get the GDDR5 version *Smile

 

That looks good. Thank you.

 

You want to do gaming on a Pentium G620 @ 2.60GHz with 4 GB RAM @ 531MHz.
That CPU has a PassMark rating of 2301.
I guess you only want to play hearts and solitaire?

 

Hey, my favorite games. (Windows 7 versions, of course. The Win 10 versions are always pushing online play.)

Along with no PSU information, the OP hasn't mentioned any particular games.

I believe that a Passmark rating of 2300 puts it in the mid range. (Comparable to some Core 2 Duo CPUs.) The OP doesn't seem to be fantasizing that the desktop will be transformed into a gaming monster by the addition of an £50 graphics card. (Or so I hope.)

Snark is good fun, but pointless except for your own entertainment.

 

He can probably get an i5 2400 and a GTX 1050 and call it a day.
