Graphics Card upgrade, $100 budget
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
First of all, I am new to Tom's Hardware, so that's there.
On to the main question: What graphics card do I need?
Here's my specs.
===========Specs===========
HP Compaq dc5800
Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.66 GHz
1GB DDR2 6400 Memory
Intel GMA 3000
No HD (broken, needs replaced)
No OS (upgrading to Vista Business) Why? I NEED DirectX 11
=========================
It says something about ADD2, and it has an open PCIe x16 slot.
What do I need?

That is all dependent on what games you intend on playing, and at what resolution. With 1GB of ram, you will be rather limited there as well. There would be no reason to go beyond a Nvidia 640 with that rig, or you will bottle neck other things. Just about ANY video card will work. Don't spend more than about $100 on a graphics card, or it will be overkill for your system.
Get a AMD HD7750, thats the max I would suggest you go especially without knowing the quality of your PSU.
This is a good model and is cheap

And get a HDD and OS too(obviously).
