i dont even know what version the slot is, all i know about the slot is that it is a pci x16 slot, from the pieces i can gather i can tell version 1.0 of x16 is only 256 front and backwards so thats a max of 512 i can run at its full potential, if it could run 512 front and backwards i would get a 1 gig, any hints?

first of all i am asking these questions because it important to have a balance between the processor and GPU or else you may face a severe bottleneck and having a good 80+ certified psu is also important that to have a high wattage psu with poor rails.....there are many dual core processor i3 is also a dual core so can u be more specific ...

Pretty old PC with a 350W power supply. I wouldn't even bother with a power supply upgrade on a PC that old - just get a low power card like a GTX 750 that doesn't need an external six pin power connector. Its really more than your CPU can handle anyway, so there's no need to spend more.

okk for that processor i would recommend u a hd 7750 hd 7770 or gtx 650 any higher card will get bottlenecked by your processor and your PSU is fine for these types of card.

we still don't know what slot version it is, it doesn't say 2.0 or 3.0 or any of those numbers on the mother board specifications, so im assuming its a 1.0 which last i checked/believed was a 512mb graphics card slot please make sense of my jumble

The Gen of the slot is not as important as knowing the pc limits. Your pc is not going to handle much, and the more information you give. The pcie x16 slot is probably a gen 1 or 2 at most and therefore you are gonna want something that does not require a 6 pin connector. The GTX 650 or 750 are decent graphics cards that can handle older computer limitations and smaller power supplies. I recommend the GTX 650 which will allow you to play games on normal graphic settings without burning out your computer.
