Best video card for an Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200 2.5GHz?

pewpew135 · Dec 20, 2015

I'd like to buy a new video card to replace my old one (Intel G41 Express Chipset). Preferably an Nvidia graphics card. Here's my specs:

- Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200
- 4gb DDR2 RAM
- Windows 7 64-bit OS
- I have my old Intel G41 Express Chipset
- have more than 100gb of free space
- my motherboard is an ECS G41T-R3

If you have a cheap or small PSU, the GTX 750 Ti might be for you. Anything faster would be bottlenecked by the slow dual core. But it all depends on the make/model of your PSU.

Oh, I forgot to tell. I have a PowerLogic 500W. A graphics card less than a hundred dollars, I can afford. Anyways, thank you for your help

If the PSU is this one: http://im0.olx.biz.id/images_olxid/12042506_2_644x461_power-supply-psu-power-logic-500w-upload-foto.jpg
...it is a cheap unit, a fake 500W. Consider it maxed out at 250W. I wouldn't trust it with anything more than one of these 64 bit DDR5 GT 730: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=gt+730&N=100007709%20600007799%20600007797&isNodeId=1
Check your case to be sure you don't need a low profile or single slot card. I don't believe you mentioned what case this card was going in.

That's exactly what my PSU is. I have a 7.5" wide and 17" high case, I don't know if it can handle most of our modern video cards. I want to build my own rig but can't afford the components i want to buy. So for now, I upgrade my old pc to play games released 2010s. Thanks again for the suggestion, I'll look into it.

This $40 Seasonic will run the GTX 750 Ti: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151076
