Back in 2009 I had bought a Vostro 430 mini desktop tower for myself and when I did, I had upgraded the cpu (to an i7) and the memory up to 16GB. At the time of the purchase the video card options (if I remember right) weren't all that spectacular so I thought I would just update the video card in a couple of years when I needed to. Well that never happened as the games I ended up playing didn't an intensive video card.
But now it seems like every game needs something decent so I need to upgrade it. My current video card is a Nvidia GeForce 220. I am not sure what the motherboard is on the machine but it is using a PCI-Express 2.0 x 16 port. So would anybody be able to suggest a video card that would be able to be put into its place? I understand that it being so old probably won't result in any good video cards but money is tight and I cant exactly replace my machine at the moment so this is my next best option or else I would be considering that avenue. (In case it helps my power supply is 350 watts and I would not like to replace that either if I don't have too.).
