So i assume it has something to do with my Model of motherboard. I will be having a "GeForce GTX 670" changing my GeForce 9800 GT. Sorry for the stupid question but i just want to make sure if it fits the slot since its my parents gift to me and they are in-abroad.

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz
Motherboard: MS-7519
Graphic Card: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT
RAM: 4GB (2x2gb)
OS: Windows 7 32-bit (6.1, Build 7600)

Yes, it will be compatable although the gpu you are looking at is a bit overpowered for the rest of your system

And by overpowered, I mean that your cpu will bottleneck the card heavily.

Example: In bf3, someone with a $200 processor like the i5-3570k will get 60-80 fps on ultra with this card

You...may only get 30-40 with that cpu running this card...and you may even get worse fps than that...

Amdlova gives another good point. You will need a 550watt minimum powersupply to power the new card. If the existing powersupply in your computer is not big enough, you will run into serious problems

I have a 750 W of PSU. So my CPU could slightly handle(or not) such card? what card is best suggested for my PC?

you can run that card and upgrade later. will work fine like a charm. don't worry. 670 graphics! is a good graphic card. your e8400 is fine. if you get some kind of lag. get a upgrade and keep the card.

if you find poor performance, the way to upgrade will be a new cpu/motherboard combo. The reason for needing a new motherboard with the cpu is that the sockets that the cpus fit into changes every once in a while (usually every new generation with intel).

So something like an i5-3570k processor and a motherboard with z77 in the name would be compatable with each other, and would also let your 670 stretch its legs

try to find an Q6600 or q9550 maybe u get used about 50 bucks... your pc will live another years.

e8400 overclocked at 4.5ghz isn't betther than a i3 3220 a quad core intel 775 can make you happy again.

In my current GPU i have problems with FPS lag in games like, APB reloaded, Nether, and Defiance (all online games). Will i have a much more problem in FPS if i get my GeForce GTX 670 running? Considering i have a 750 W of PSU?

I personally play Nether, and it's not a good game to judge fps on as it is still in alpha. You will definately have no fps lag running those games with a 670, and you would only need maybe a 600 watt power supply for that graphics card. A 500 watt will do it however, but it's never a bad idea to give yourself some breathing room with these things

I guess i would stick with my GTX 670 then

and as Amvlova suggests, I will upgrade my CPU in the future :)  Thank you for the replies :)
