I have an old PC with the following specs:
CPU: Intel Pentium E2180 (2GHz)
Motherboard: ASUStek Benicia 1.01
RAM: 3 GB DDR2
Stock GPU: Intel(R) G31/G33 Express Chipset Family
250 Watt PSU (I understand I'll probably need to upgrade this to a 400-500 watt)
all in all I basically use a PC that runs Minesweeper at 5fps

Long story short I'm looking to upgrade this crappy stock GPU for a better one, not really
needing an amazing GPU to run BF4 on ultra high at 120fps...But a simple one to run games
such as League of Legends at a constant 60-70 fps on high settings
This graphics card has really caught my eye http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA70F3RZ1755&cm_re=DDR2_graphics_cards-_-9SIA70F3RZ1755-_-Product

I need to know if this will cause any kind of bottleneck and basically wanting some more
opinions on the matter. If you guys have any suggestions on other kinds of cards I should use pls tell me know :)

I've seen many running BF4 with 10-15 fps...

League of legends won't get you a bottleneck, my brother plays it at such a same cpu with 2 gb of ram and a Nvidia gt 8600, with 60-80 fps on high but with shadows disabled (depending on your screen resolution)

In your case I would stick with a lower price card just because you are not going to fully use those 2gbs...

If you have a good available budget, I recommend getting an AMD system. It will cost you less, if you're planning for further upgrade on your system.

well , the card you chosed is good, it will run on your pc, but it is better a 730 gt because is more power efficient, and try to get a model with as much VRAM u can. (for Bf4, and in bf4 disable any kind of effects and filtering, just use textures, and slowly you can try some effects and shadows, I don't recomand shadows)
But i really sugest you to buy a PSU, 250 watts is low.
Try to chose an intertech,zalman, thermaltake,enermax (if money is the issue), but if u want someting more stable and future proof, i recomand u buying a 450-500+ Watts Corsair PSU

I think you better keep an eye open for the RX 460 or 470. Their perf/watt and perf/$ is quite pleasing, as well as the price. They come out the 29th of June as far as I know.
