Hello!
I would like to do an upgrade to my pc, the exact replacement maxi card with higher performance.
Mainly just playing CS: Go, I want to go on low resolution 1024 in 140 + fps.
I want to recommend a video card for those mentioned above.
Configuration.
-Intel e5700, 3ghz
-3 GB ddr3 ram.
-300 GB HDD
-Motherboard: http://www.findlaptopdriver.com/specs-g41t-am-motherboa...
Thanks in advance
It doesn't matter if you have nvidia or radeon, it is certain to run into fps sites mentioned.

The way graphics cards work is they finish rendering objects placed by the CPU. If you want a better graphics card you're going to need a better CPU, any modern graphics card that will push CS to 140+ is going to bottleneck because of the CPU. I highly doubt you'll be able to hit over 100 with that CPU. At a certain point it doesn't matter how amazing your GPU is, because the CPU has to pre-render a lot of stuff first. You could have 2 Titan XP's in SLI and it wouldnt make a bit of difference with the CPU you have.

But to answer your question, a 650 Ti...

I would recommend a complete system upgrade. Any card you could get wouldn't help that processor, I believe it is a single core, the lowest tier 6th gen i3 duo-core, is about three times as fast for about $100.

For $430 you could build a system that would blow that one away. It won't win any records but it will be plenty for what you want to do.

I agree with what EpIckFa1LJoN said, the cpu would bottleneck most cards you get for it. You might want to just build a new computer as after a while you may want to play some other titles. I could give you a list of parts that you could by and build a computer with. If you're not into that, upgrading the CPU to something a little more modern and getting a card that prices around $100 (Perhaps 750 ti) would be good for CS:GO. It would exceed 140 fps and wouldn't limit you to only Cs:Go

I just want to change the graphics card. The current 50-game 80fps. A change and other components but now I want to buy a graphics card to go + 140fps
I play only CS:Go/Samp.

But to answer your question, a 650 Ti would be the most I would get with that CPU, no idea if it will bottleneck or not. I assume that a 750 would be the absolute max. But good luck finding them since the 650 Ti is over 3 years old now.
