Need help selecting a graphics card

FuriousGamer · Nov 8, 2015

I am going to buy my first PC. I am buying a barebones PC called the Shuttle XPC SG41J4.

I already have a HDD for it and I'm fine with CPU that the seller has in it but it only has a 512mb card inside and I am looking to upgrade it but I have no idea if the graphics cards I am looking for will work. I am looking for one that has at least 2gb and is under £200.

(sorry If this is a stupid question)

I would not buy that barebones.
It is old lga775 , 4 generations old. The cpus that it supports are slow.
The psu included is 250w, and the best graphics card it can support is a GTX750ti(non overclocked).
You can do better.

FuriousGamer :

Never get a small form factor, totally neuters your ability to upgrade

look for a pre-made with an i5, the newer the better

8gb of ram

Expect it to have a crap power supply, and you will need to upgrade it if you want a good gpu. Keep this in mind when buying it.

get something with a mid-tower case for good upgrade potential

It is always better to build your own.

Good luck.
