it seems that motherboard can upgrade to a phenom processor and ddr3 ram which is what I would recommend before you try and use it for gaming!

my budget is around 70$ and this Radeon R7 250X looks good but i prefer nvidia cards

yeah i understand that, but like i said i'm not a serious gamer, i don't need to play games on max, i can play on low setting also

Oh then the gt630 would be fine

Have you got PCI? If so, a ZOTAC GeForce GT 610 PCI [ZT-60604-10L] would probably be quite a good choice! It costs around $60 new on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-NVIDIA-GeForce-512MB-ZT-60604-10L/dp/B0083Y1YVE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1392478023&sr=8-1&keywords=ZOTAC+GeForce+GT+610+PCI+%5BZT-60604-10L%5D) and comes with a manual and driver/software disc. It's the one I've got and is actually quite good with various games.

Wow, I'm actually quite jealous! You've got both PCI AND PCI-Express!!! (if i'm not mistaken) The blue one is PCI-E and the two white ones are PCI. Thanks to the PCI-E slot, you could get MUCH better graphics cards. but, if your budget is only 70 to 80 dollars, the ZOTAC GeForce GT 610 would be quite good for you (http://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-NVIDIA-GeForce-512MB-ZT-60604-10L/dp/B0083Y1YVE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1392478023&sr=8-1&keywords=ZOTAC+GeForce+GT+610+PCI+%5BZT-60604-10L%5D)!

It does look a bit dodgy and, from what I can see, does not come with any driver discs or manuals. Also, because it has an onboard fan, it needs an extra cable running to the motherboard. It does have a whopping 2GB of RAM, though and PCI-E is ever-so slightly faster than the original PCI. I would recommend buying from Amazon because they're quite good with returns and support. The ZOTAC I recommended earlier would be quite a good buy since you could get PCI-E versions as well with 1GB of RAM.

hm ok, i found this one, it seems pretty good for it's price http://www.1a.lv/datoru_komponentes/videokartes/gigabyte_gf_gt610_1gb_gddr3_pcie_gvn610sl1gi?qrtc_slt=slt_home&qrtc_tpl=tpl_user_home&qrtc_typ=usr&qrtc_pos=6 what do you think?

From what I can see, it doesn't come with any driver disks. It's okay for the price but I don't think It supports the latest OpenGL (4.2 I think) or the latest Directx (11 I think). It does have quite a bit of RAM memory, but that won't effect the speed too much.

it actually has OpenGL 4.3 and Directx 11

i will go with this one, and now my last question, i have a 350w power supply, will it go great with the card?

It will, so long as your power supply has the right cable.

as far as i know, you don't need cables for this card, just add it to your motherboard and your ready to go

Generally, cards with fans need an extra cable to power the fan.

What video card goes best with my cpu?
