I just inherited an asus essentio desktop that was purchased over the summer.

These are the main components:

4th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-4770 processor
Features an 8MB L3 cache and 3.4GHz processor speed with Turbo Boost up to 3.9GHz.
Intel® Core™ i7 processor

16GB DDR3 memory


2TB Serial ATA III hard drive (5400 rpm)
.
NVIDIA GT 625 graphics
Feature 2GB dedicated video memory for lush images with intricate detail. HDMI output for connection to an HDTV.

I have an option to put a GTX 260 in this machine. I know the gt625 is not a great card and eventually I am going to upgrade the VC and power supply. My main goal here is to be able to play knights of the old republic online. Which card would be better for that?

Many, many thanks

Well the GTX 260 is way more powerful, but it doesn't support DirectX 11. Just make sure the game supports DX9 or DX10.

Since you all have been so helpful, which card would you recommend for this system which is just going to be used for online gaming. the 350w ps is going to have to be swapped out also.
