Hey guys

Any recommendations for a decent graphic card thats compatible with the ECS G31T-M V1.0 motherboard?
I'll be upgrading it to 4GB of RAM, a Q6700 Core2Duo processor and maybe install a SSD as well.
The PSU is 350W and i was wondering what is the best graphics card i could install that doesnt require additional power connections.
will be used for basic photo editing, watching HD movies and simple games such as football manager 2015.
My monitor only has a max resolution of 1600x900 with a DVI and VGA port.

Hey I also own the same motherboard and am planning to put a new SSD in it with a fresh Windows 7 installation. I have a few doubts :

1) Will the the motherboard support AHCI or will it be stuck in IDE ?
2) Also do i need to update the BIOS ? I haven't updated it since purchase (mid 2008)

I have bought the radeon 260x for about Rs 9k , get decent performance in older titles at 1080p. Any card above this will be overkill for this mobo. You can go for this or Gtx 750Ti
