Short and Sweet:

I have a potato for a computer and would like to get a GPU that could run DayZ properly.

However, I don't even know if my PC could support an upgrade such as this.

If anyone can suggest a compatible GPU.

CPU i5 2400
RAM 8GB DDR3
MOB Dell 0F6X5P
PSU 240W

If I'm missing anything let me know.

To be honest, it's not worth the time and effort to try and upgrade that system. (Dell Optiplex 390 Tech Specs)

1) It's a small form factor. This means you're limited to low-profile cards
2) 240 watt PSU. This power supply, even brand new, would be hard pressed to power any moderate graphics card.
3) Your motherboard is wired to limit the power from the PCI-Ex16 slot to 25 watts (pg 16).

In my opinion, the cost of finding such a card outweighs the performance increase you may see.
