Now I'm going to say this first, because it's easily one of the most important details. I'm looking for a graphics card that's under 100$. I'm trying to run games such as: Team Fortress 2. Minecraft. Simple/ not too intense games. Here are my system specs:

Dell Inspiron 570, (no modifications.)

Processor: AMD Anthlon II X2 250 Processor 3.00 GHz

Watts: 450 watts I believe

Ram: 4GB

System Type: 64 bit.

Graphics card: ATI Radeon 4200 HD

//Note//:

Like I said before, if possible under 100$. I'm looking for recommendations. Thank you, and if you need more detail, please tell me.

Isaac

Will that fry my system? Basically, do I need a new power system. If so, check that off the list.



Depending if you're system has a Power Supply that's made by a quality manufacturer, you may or may not fry your system. Some power supplies can be very unreliable.

Your power supply should be alright for your system right now, but I would recommend an upgrade to anything over 350W and has quality components as soon as possible.
