Or you can get PCIE X1 look at your motherboard below PCI slots (if you have Mini Tower)
If this is correct - Zotac ZT-60607-10L GeForce GT 610 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500299 seems to be better choice.

GT520 and GT610 are exactly the same card. There is no difference at all except a new name. And the 9500GT PCI cards that Sparkle and Jaton were making still run rings around both of them. 9500GT doesn't support DX11 but at the speed that GT520/610 run at, neither do they really.

The Zotac GT 610 is pretty good for old PCs. I've got a 2004 Packard Bell, and the GT 610 has really given a dramatic speed boost in various games - especially Minecraft. It now runs at minimum 50 frames per second (fps), although I did have to get Optifine (http://www.vgchartz.com/article/1001495/optifine-for-174-172-164-162-152-minecraft-mods-and-downloads/).
It connects with PCI (no extra cables needed) and has a HDMI, a VGA and a DVI out port, but VGA is most common for most displays. 512MB of ddr3 RAM is plenty for most games.
I bought it from amazon.co.uk for £42 (or $60 from amazon.com) and it came with a manual, a driver and software disc and a warranty. But I bet you could find it cheaper from eBay.

In this case the bandwith of the slot is irrelevant. GT610 isn't even going to come close to saturating a PCIe x1 slot so it may as well be in a PCI slot.
