Hi Everyone,

Guys, I've been looking for some good Graphic Card so that I can play my NFS Rivals and GTA V (The games I waited so long for).
In the local market, I see that the above listed Graphic Card is available on economical price so kindly tell me whether it'd work for me?

Playable if your willing to reduce Resolution and Settings. Not everything has to be ran at 1080p Ultra setting, this should prove that the game can be enjoyed with reduces Resolution and Settings for people on a tight budget that just want to play the game.

To be perfectly honest, you are due for a new system. Even a lowly Pentium G3258 would be superior, and it isn't exactly that great. Yea it can easily overclock, but still a pure dual core.

Is dual core faster than core 2 due?
Should I be upgrading my processor only or the whole thing I mean including motherboard?

With LGA 775 these are as good as it gets, Core 2 Quad QX9775, QX9770, QX9650,Q9650,Q9550, Q9450, Q9400. The QX9XXX chips are hard to find and Expensive plus not many motherboards will run them "high End boards only" but overclocked they are neck and neck with chips like a FX-6300. You can find a QX9650 on Ebay at the moment for just under $50 but that is rare and wont last long.

Q9650 to Q9400 overclocked are on par in gaming with FPS you will get out of most current I3's which isn't bad for a older chip but budget boards generally don't except them.

Q9300, Q8400, Q8300 - A Step down from the above, less common and will work on most moderately priced motherboards.

Q6700, Q6600, E8600, E8500, E8400, E7600 Are more widely accepted and overclocked will still run Low to Medium settings in nearly all titles.

I still build quite a few LGA775 systems as parts are dirt cheap and common they still have life left for budget gamers saving for a better system. What is your motherboard btw? 50% of all LGA775 systems sold top out on a Q6700.

A Core 2 duo "E" is a Dual core, Core 2 Quad "Q, QX" are obvious. Should you upgrade everything, CPU/Motherboard/RAM? that depends on what you expect, if your wanting 1080p Max settings then upgrade. If you can deal with lower settings or even Lower resolution with higher settings then look at upping your CPU, this all depends on what you are willing to spend.

Just spend 30USD on a Q6600, still okay for today's games at 30FPS and would not require a motherboard change.

As for gaming, The cheapest card I would recommend is the GT730 1GB GDDR5, But the 750 is always a better choice if within budget.

Guys, thank you so much for your help.
I highly appreciate that.
Now I'm compelled to start thinking whether I should go for XBOX for gaming or really should be upgrading my PC.
Anyways, thanks all, you all were so co-operative.
Cheers!

If you want that PC to be useful, for other things as well, it is probably a good idea to save up for a new one. Core 2 is quite old. The original ones came out, I believe somewhere around 9yrs ago. That is a long time in PC terms. Most people do not even keep their cars that long.

Q9XXX, Xeons and Q9XXX Extreme Chips are Still pretty good most of them you can find for around $50 on Ebay. If you have one of the higher end Motherboard they overclock fantastic. These are 1333mhz FSB chips that support 1333 mhz DDR3 so when everything is overclocked they are in the range of I7-950s and Early to Mid FX Chips. For older Tech they are still Gaming really nice if you have the right motherboard.
