I want to buy a video card for my Gateway GT5034.It has a AMD Athlon 64x2 dual-core processor 4200+ 2.2 GB 2000 MHZ front side bus L2 cache 512KB x 2 4GB of memory, the add-in card slots are one PCI-Express x16,One PCI-E X1 , Two PCI Conventional. I just would like to know what the best or mid price video card would work in this machine, as I am a novice and there is so many kinds of video cards on the market. My PSU is 300watt's.I am most grateful for any help you may give. Thank you

Will they bottleneck even though I am not using the card for games?

The R7 240 has a 450W PSU, my Gateway has only a 300W PSU, would this still work?

Even though it says "minimum of 18AMPS on a 12v rail?", I think my PSU is a +12v /15A rail? The reason I ask all these question as I want to make sure as I don't have a lot of $$$$$$ and I appreciate all your information.
