Radeon x850 or Radeon 3000?

The thing I would do is this. I would do some kind of Video test with a video or two with both Graphics Units. The GPU you have only goes up to DX 9 when the Mobo goes up to DX 10, which is in more use these days. Also the Mobo you have only has PCIE 2.0 x16 and x1, and two PCI slots, no PCIE Native. I would try to fit the GPU into the PCIE 2.0, and obviously if it does match up with the socket, try the PCI. Do NOT push to hard or else your GPUs in the Graveyard. But if you get it to fit, make sure you can download drivers and that it at least shows your screen. From there do the video tests (even maybe a 3D game test if you want) and see which one performs and/or looks better. ^_^

HD3000 or 3000? If its the HD you'll want to go that round simply for the fact that 256mb isn't enough if you are gaming. And for streaming the HD3k will be plenty good if your CPU/RAM is strong enough.

Oh well if you have the x850 laying around then go ahead and use it. Do you know what Mobo you have?

EDIT: I'm really asking because this GPU only goes up to DX 9 and OpenGL 2, when were up to DX11 and OpenGL 4

In that case, I would stick with the Integrated GPU until you can afford the 7770. However if you want to throw in the x850, go for it.
