I believe this computer came prebuilt, I have 2GB of RAM and a E2160 1.8Ghz CPU at the moment. I have 4GB of RAM and I have the Intel E8500 CPU on its way from amazon. I do not have much money to spend at all. I am just looking for something to run World of Warcraft smoothly. Currently when I attempt to run the game I get a MAX of 10 FPS. This motherboard has a PCI-E X 16 slot it's not even a 2.0 and I am very sick of trying to play games with this onboard GeForce 7100. Would greatly appreciate it if someone can recommend a video card to me that would fit these needs and run games smoothly, I am NOT looking for anything luxurious or expensive. I would say I have a budget of 70$ max. I would appreciate it if anybody can recommend anything within that price range either refurbished or used, I usually order from Amazon. Thanks so much.

50 bucks
this is about the equivalent of a HD 6750. i used to run wow at 30fps on a HD 4850. so on the r7 240 you should get maybe 40 frames on good settings. i think it's perfect, and there is a mail in rebate
i play on whisperwind!

so my motherboard since its so old should have no problem with any cards as long as they are pci-e x16? All other input/suggestions are really appreciated I am looking to order this tonight.

what about pci-e x16 2.0 cards? i have the same motherboard and I also have been wanting to upgrade my graphics card (upgraded from the IGP to a little 512MB) yea the thing is 512mb sounds too low, I'd rather grab a card with 2GB if possible and I have seen some nice ones in the $60 range

do you know about pricewatch.com? they have great deals on there from all kinds of websites. i was asking dariens007 (or anyone else that can help me out) about the 2.0 thing. like i was saying before, im trying to upgrade from my 512mb to a 2gb also. ive seen plenty that are pciex16 2.0 but dont know if they're compatible with my mobo. i'd like to find out so i can finally upgrade.

A pci-express 3.0 x16 will work in a pci-express 2.0 or 1.0 x16
