First PC Upgrade

[tvhog]

Hello i am looking to buy a new graphics card (i never done this before) but my PC is old...2006 old...i never bothered to buy a new PC because the one I have plays the games I like great, diablo 3 is coming out soon and I would like to be able to play it, here is some of my pc info.


Video Card :NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE
Processor :AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core
Ram/Memory: 3048 DDR2
Bus: PCI-Express X16 (open Slot)
Bus: PCI (3Open Slots)
power supply: 550 watts

right now i am looking at the NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT, but i don't know if it will work in my PC.

I really don't want to buy a new PC just for one game, any advice you guys can give me would be great

I hope the info i gave will provide some help.

Thank you for reading.

6670 is probably your best bet.

It MAY have problems with your motherboard however. (2.1 in 1.0)

first of all Thank you for replying so quickly


what kind of motherboard problems... could you give more info?

and i guess that means the NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT wont work with my PC then

Thank you guys for the info...I'm glad I asked about the NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT before I would've wasted my money on it

I will get the SAPPHIRE 11192-22-20G Radeon HD 6670 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card.

Thank you guys for the info, I am grateful
