Hey guys!
For a long time i've been wanting to upgrade my pc's graphic card and i want you help...
To be honest im really lost and i dont even know how to look for a good card in fair prices, for games like The Witcher 2, Divinity: Original sin, Dark souls 2, Tomb Raider 2013, Injustice and if possible Dragon age: Inquisition.
By the way, my current GPU card is GeForce Nvidia 210, so i guess u can understand why i want a new one.
I have to mention that i dont want to run these games at ultra graphics, just in medium\+ graphics.

Price about 100$ - 150$.

These is my my PC's information, so please advice me what are the best price-quality ratio cards , and if i need to upgrade some more stuff except the ram that im probebly going to upgrade anyway to 4GB,:

Operating System
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1
CPU
Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 @ 2.93GHz
Wolfdale 45nm Technology
RAM
2.00GB Single-Channel DDR2 @ 400MHz (5-5-5-15)
Motherboard
MSI G41M4 (MS-7592) (CPU 1)
Graphics
SMEX2220 (1920x1080@60Hz)
1024MB NVIDIA GeForce 210 (Gigabyte)


Thanks!

Best Graphics cards around that price point is probably a GTX 750ti or a R9 270 / R9 270x (if you can find it on sale).

But you will probably want 8 GB at least for your memory for today's games.

And honestly might wanna consider upgrading the rest of your build as well.

for your build getting a a gtx 750/750ti probably be the best bet.
If you have the wattage for it, getting a r9 270 would be the best performing card in that range, and easily ocs to 270x performance levels.

Any of these would be overkill for the rest of your system though.
 


DDR2's not far behind DDR3. I can find a 2x1GB kit on eBay for $10.



Yes.
 


Thats not a bad price at all, I just remember some time ago I was looking at DDR2 memory for a friend of mine and the prices were ridiculous, I wonder if something happened to the production at some point to cause the price increase. I also didn't bother to look on ebay at the time, was looking at new.
