Hello, sorry if I didn't post in the right section, I'm rather new and a noob in PC hardware and such.
I would like to upgrade my graphics card to something better and I'd like some suggestions on what should I do, as my budget is limited and I do not want to waste my money on something that won't work with my puny system. I will list my stuff down bellow, please don't laugh :\
CPU Type QuadCore Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600, 2400 MHz (9 x 267)
Motherboard Name EVGA 650i Ultra (NF66) (3 PCI, 2 PCI-E x1, 1 PCI-E x16, 4 DDR2 DIMM, Audio, Gigabit LAN, IEEE-1394)
DIMM1: GeIL CL4-4-4DDR2-667 1 GB DDR2-667 DDR2 SDRAM (5-5-5-15 @ 333 MHz) (4-4-4-12 @ 266 MHz) (3-3-3-9 @ 200 MHz)
DIMM2: Kingston 99C5316-026.A00LF 1 GB DDR2-667 DDR2 SDRAM (5-5-5-15 @ 333 MHz) (4-4-4-12 @ 266 MHz) (3-3-3-9 @ 200 MHz)
DIMM3: Kingston 99C5316-026.A00LF 1 GB DDR2-667 DDR2 SDRAM (5-5-5-15 @ 333 MHz) (4-4-4-12 @ 266 MHz) (3-3-3-9 @ 200 MHz)
DIMM4: GeIL CL4-4-4DDR2-667 1 GB DDR2-667 DDR2 SDRAM (5-5-5-15 @ 333 MHz) (4-4-4-12 @ 266 MHz) (3-3-3-9 @ 200 MHz)
Current GFX card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 220 (1 GB)
Disk Drive ST1000DM 003-1CH162 SCSI Disk Device (1000 GB, 7200 RPM, SATA-III)
Disk Drive SAMSUNG HD161GJ SCSI Disk Device (160 GB, 7200 RPM, SATA-II)
I have a Horizon 22" Monitor, if that's even relevant.
My current Power supply is a 450W one, at least I think it is (Thats what it says on it's case..., it's really a standard one).
I would really love to buy a Asus 6950 DCII/2DI4S/2GD5 off a friend who doesn't need it cause he's getting something better.
My question is, would that work with my current system? Would I need a new power supply? if yes, what kind.
I'd also like some suggestions of video cards that would work with my system if the one above is not gonna work.
Thanks.
