Kris91 · Dec 30, 2013

Hey there, i am having trouble getting my graphics card working so i can play games and have no idea how to fix it, my current motherboard is a MSI P7N SLI Platinum and i am curious what type of graphics card i should get that will go good with this?

Something cost efficient too, nothing too exsepsnive as it is only a secondary PC, but something good enouhg that it can play like WoW and a few FPS games. thanks in advance.

What's the budget!?

KillerGamer :

max $160-$200

Edit: It's also for a 32bit PC

It is no use going for a such an expensive card if you don't have a 64-bit OS. Most current games have one as their minimum requirement. I suggest you ask some friends if they have a copy of Windows 7 64-bit. Regarding the card, go for an R9 270X or a GTX660.

I only put windows xp on it because this computer is relatively old, atleast 5-6 years old. I have a few copies of Windows 7, could i install it on this computer without any problems?

You could if they are 64-bit. Also, don't forget that anything below a 3rd/4th gen i3 could severely bottleneck any of these cards.

Both of the cds i have of windows 7 i believe are 64bit, as one of them is for my newer PC and one of them is my cousins old one for his 64bit PC. Would i be better off formatting and putting windows 7 on this secondary PC of mine? Will all my drivers and stuff show up properly? Should i wait to see what type of processor i have and if it's worth it?

If it's a licensed windows 7 64-bit then you shouldn't have any problems.
