we still don't know what slot version it is, it doesn't say 2.0 or 3.0 or any of those numbers on the mother board specifications, so im assuming its a 1.0 which last i checked/believed was a 512mb graphics card slot please make sense of my jumble


The Gen of the slot is not as important as knowing the pc limits. Your pc is not going to handle much, and the more information you give. The pcie x16 slot is probably a gen 1 or 2 at most and therefore you are gonna want something that does not require a 6 pin connector. The GTX 650 or 750 are decent graphics cards that can handle older computer limitations and smaller power supplies. I recommend the GTX 650 which will allow you to play games on normal graphic settings without burning out your computer.


his budget is 35 dollars ..


You can't get much from that..oh my well I guess my suggestion is out of range :(
