hey everyone, I was looking to upgrade my graphics cards so I can actually play computer games. Im interested in playing DayZ, Arma, but am also interested in PS2. The motherboard is a ASUS M4N68T-M v2.
-It currently has integrated graphics (I can disable it)
- It does have only one pci 16x slot
-I have 500 watts of power
-I am upgrading to 8gb RAM
Just based off that, whats the best card I can get for my system?
TY very much

First of all what is your budget?? The minimum I would recommend is either R9 270 (or the x version if u like) or GTX 760.

I use a PS2 emulator PCSX2 1.2.1 on my R9 270 and it runs pretty smooth at 50-140 fps (some games don't work properly though). PS2 emu mostly eats your cpu than gpu.

Arma 3? That game isn't optimized in any way so even high-end gfx gets fps problems.

Those are good cards, but my budget atm is $200 or under, and Arma 2

Try the brother of R9 270. Its an HD 7870 that gives 10% less performance, but its only ~$160-180. I wouldn't go for something less than a HD 7870 if you want to game using any emulators or play any games that are release today with decent quality.
