I just bought Shadows of Mordor for PC, and my graphics card (An old ass GTS 250) will not run it due to lack of DX11. Im looking for help on picking a new low cost card that is compatible with my system. The problem is I have no idea what that entails as Im hardwear illiterate.

Any help you can offer would be appreciated. Thanks.

Someone on reddit actually suggested the same one.

Now, my question is.. Knowing that my PC is on its way to becoming a paper weight, is this going to actually run the game at a reasonable, playable, level? Or should i scrap the idea of updating it all together, and put together a cheap but up to date gaming pc?

I would just plainly say build a new one if you have the money but if you don't just update your GPU. I could make you a budget build if you would like just pm me :p
