Ok my current graphics card is an Intel(R) G33/G31 Express Chipset Family, and alot of the games that have been released in the past year are not supported by it, i have games sitting there collecting dust cause the graphics are bad or non exsistant. So i want to get a new one but have no idea where to start, i gathered a list of the cards supported but worried that my computer may not handle some, i dont want to spend the money and find out my harddrive wont support it.
List of graphics cards:
Nividia Geforce series: FX5900 or higher, G100, GT120, GT130, GTS150, GTS250, GTX260, GTX275, GTX280, GTX285,GTX 295.
