I've looked at some previous comments and done several searches. I've been on Game Debate, but honestly am not sure what exactly I'm looking at. I just had to replace my desktop and purchased another all-in-one which I know isn't made for gaming. However, I feel like my gaming needs are fairly basic. I'm trying to see if the new Master of Orion will run OK on the new machine. The game requires at least nVidia 240, ATI 4650 with recommended specs of NVidia 560, ATI 5870. The new machine I'm getting is i7, 2.9GHz, 12 GB Ram and the video card is AMD Radeon 530 (2GB GDDR5). I find similar cards but with only 1GB of memory so I don't feel like I'm comparing apples to oranges. From what I've been able to find, I think the game will run OK, but am looking for the opinion of someone who knows more than me about this stuff. Thanks in advance.

You're going to have trouble finding a card suitable for that PC. And the PSU isn't going to handle much more than a GT 1030. Have you had it open to see the amount of room you have? Length of the card? It's not like upgrading a mini tower.

The computer comes with a Radeon 530 2gb video card. I wasn't planning on replacing it. I'm trying to find out if a Radeon 530 2gb is roughly comparable to an Nvidia 560 or Ati 5870.
