Ah I've looked that up- works out at £50....

Hmm for that you're going to have to shoot lower.

Best cards around that price are: AMD Radeon HD 7730 or HD 7750, or R7 240 / R7 250
Nvidia: GT 630 or GT 640.

Those cards should be enough to run games at 1024 x 768 with reasonable settings, have a look what the best models you can find are in you're area for you're budget and I'm happy to help you choose.

Also none of the above cards will need additional power so should work fine whatever power supply you have.

That machine will certianly benefit from a graphics card upgrade...

I'm not sure what Rs.5000 is in GBP (£) so I'm not clear how much budget you've got.

if you want a reasonable graphics card for not much money, The Radeon R7 250X, 260 and 260X cards are all quite cheap and are good value.

If you preffer Nvidia, the Geforce 650 ti, 650 ti boost, GTX 750 and 750 ti are all good budget cards worth looking at.

One thing to be aware of- you need a good power supply for a good graphics cards, if you could let me know specifications for you're PSU I can tell you what it can run, otherwise you might need to get a better one. If you're supply isn't very powerful, the best cards to look at are the GTX 750 and 750ti as they're based on a new design which is very power efficient.

I've had a look at your motherboard and it supports the Core 2 Quad range of processors- so it might be worth looking at one of those if you can find one second hand (as modern games tend to run better on quad cores these days).

Hope that helps.
