My old Radeon HD 4870 is starting to reach it's limits so I thought I should upgrade.
I have a standard Dell XPS 625 back from 2009. My CPU is AMD Phenom II X4 940 @ 3.0 GHz. I have 8 GB RAM (pretty sure its DDR2).
Also, would the card be compatible with my motherboard? I think mine is the old socket AM2 so I wasn't sure (still reading up on this stuff).
This was the specific model I had in mind (just in case):
