Hey I was woundering if a PNY - GeForce FX 5200 256MB PCI Graphics Card would work my pc. I have a GA3400 (Everex Impact) Also i was wondering what else i might want to get if this is going to be my gaming pc (ATM im getting a graphics card and some more RAM).

Meh almost forgot.... well this is my first time doing this but after i install the new video card what do i do with the old one? will it help my new one? or just get in the way?

Hi

 

What games are you planning on playing.

 

What motherboard do you have? I won't get an PCI graphics card if the motherboard has AGP or PCI-Express.

 

I think you have onboard graphics so that should just be disabled after installing the new one.

I'm not sure what my mother board is but on the inside of my pc where I "think" the video card is going to go its white, i was on best buy looking at the 3 diffrent slots for graphic cards and the PCI looks most similar to what i have in my pc.

 

Also Thank you for all your help =D

Meh you need to think about extinding the edit limit. But im planning on playing new games and mostly all of them =p (fps, mmofps, rpgs, mmorpgs, stradedy, adventure, simulation) so like all of them =D just woundering if that graphics card will support my gaming.

 

Also about my ram im getting 1GB i already found some on best buy it had a auto finder for that but not Video cards.

The thing is, you wont be able to play all games, escpecially the latest ones on very high quality settings.

 

1GB RAM is the minimum you should have for Vista, but i would reccommend 2GB RAM.

 

I would reccomend upgrading the motherboard (if it doesn't have PCI-Express), CPU and RAM with a decent PCI-Express graphics card, that is if it is in your budget to make a decent gaming PC.
