I'd been using an AMD Radeon HD 3600 on this PC for the last few years before it began having issues. If that one worked fine, would a newer one? Upvote 0 Downvote

M Mercian Distinguished Feb 28, 2014 451 4 19,015 Jun 25, 2016 #12 It should be ok. Go for a GT 730, you will be able to play older games like Skyrim on it or you may be able to find a R7 260x which is a step up and the lowest card that could play more modern games on low settings.
