I can't find anything online relating to this. Since my motherboard has a decent CPU, I'd like to keep that but my graphics card is a Geforce 210 (If you don't know, that's terrible). If the answer is no, would it be better for me getting a new motherboard (I also have 8GB DDR3 RAM and a 128GB HDD that may/may not fit another one) or are there any graphics cards with similar specs that fit my motherboard? Thanks.

you need to worry about your PSU being strong enough, since this is a DELL computeR? i'm sure it's gonna be too weak to handle any decent GPU. you are probably running a 240/280watt PSU.
another worry is the actual physical space available in your PC case for a new GPU, you should open up your PC case side, and measure from the back of PC where the GPU plugs are at the back of the PC case and along side of slot to see your maximum clearance from back to front.

these two things will effect your choice greatly.

other than that, this other thread confirms you can use any GPU you want as long as what I said is compatible.

Thanks, I just needed to know if it would fit on the actual motherboard. I already upgraded the case to fit a Geforce 210 and I'll easily find a PSU on the market so I think I'm good. Thanks again
