Optiplex 745 Graphics Card
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
Hello,
Just got a second hand dell optiplex 745 and was looking to use it for video editing and gaming.
Looking to make the most of this, so if anyone could advise me as to overclocking or any other method of improving performance it would be appreciated
Can anyone give me advice on which graphics card would be most suitable for my needs (Low to Medium Budget but open to advice0
Here's he spec on the pc: Dell Optiplex GX745 Tower, Intel Core 2 CPU 6600@2.40 GHz, 2.39 GHz
Current Graphics : Intel Q965/Q963
OS: Win 7 pro
4GB RAM atm, also have a Antec 430W PSU that i can put in if needed

As long as you have the original Dell motherboard, overclocking will not be an option. The BIOS on Dells are locked down to prevent any overclocking. Any discrete graphics card will beat integrated graphics. The only problem you might face is the possibility that your PSU won't support a discrete graphics card. The Antec PSU would help a little depending on which graphics card you want to use.

I would recommend the 7750.
