Hey guys, I recently got a Del Dimension E510 PC from a guy at work who was about to toss it out.
The thing is in mint condition, it was used like one time and the hardware is fresh.
So I've decided to build it up into a Anarchy Online/Final Fantasy XI machine for fun and was torn on what graphics card to buy for it.

Its specs are;
Dell Dimension E510,
Intel Pentium 4 Processor 630 with HT Technology (3.0 Ghz)
512 DDR2 SDRAM 533 (I already have 4 gigs inbound via ebay atm)
128MB ATI Hyper Memory PCI-Express x16 (DVI/VGA/TV out) Radeon x300 SE
80GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200 RPM) (I've got a 250gig Corsair SSD Inbound)
Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, English without Media, for Dimension
The power supply is stock but I'll buy a 500w once I figure out what card to go with.



Thanks

It's just not worth anything. People throwing out pentium 4 machines is common. Core 2 duo rigs are bottom barrel $50 and that is hard pressed vs a similarly priced tablet which would perform better in just about every common person's need. If you really want to, I'd stick with the stock 305w psu it has and put no better than a 750ti in it. Keep in mind it needs to be single slot or won't fit the case. The cooler can be double if it is short enough since then you'd run into the cpu duct.


I don't know if you are just tired and need sleep but he stated specs and it's pcie. Seriously an amd gpu built...
