Best gaming Graphics card on intel dh61ww motherboard?

[dark32]

Hey, so I was looking for a graphics card that would run on my motherboard and give me a really good fps on games like Tom Clancy's The Division. I don't have any specific budget. I current specs is :
i3 2100 3.1ghz
2gb ram (will upgrade to 6 or 8 gb)
dh61ww motherboard
intel hd 2000

get either a HD 7770 or a R7 250X. don't get anything above these two coz your weak dual core processor will bottleneck it.

Both are the same. 250x is recently released re badged 7770. and make sure you have enough wattage in your PSU to run them.

So, if I upgrade it then will it run better graphics card?

No I meant the processor

Yes it definitely will... It can even run higher cards but you won't be able to see their full performance...

If you are planning for a CPU upgrade within coming one year then you can always invest in a better card now. It will run with reduced performance now but once you upgrade you will be able to use much better graphics..

Thanks for the advice, will my motherboard lower the performance?

No but that 2 GB ram will. Get another 2 GB at least... minimum 4gigs of ram is recommended for playing games... You can add even more ram but if you have future upgrade plans then it will be unwise to spend money on this system now, specially ram.

Thanks for all your help! I'll chose your answer as the best answer. D. I also wanted to ask if a GTX 660 would work in this system?

yup.. it will work... As long as you have PCI-E x16 connector in your motherboard any graphics card available in the market would work...

There are plenty of good graphics card out there... but I need to know your max budget first..

Ok, i'll figure it tell me about the ram, which ram will work?

 

[Muku]

any good quality RAM from reputed manufacturer like corsair, Gskill or kingston will work fine provided both of your ram are of same frequency....
for ex, if you currently have a 1333MHz ram then the new one must be of 1333MHz also. Otherwise it won't work..

Sir, for R7 250X, will it also matter if its 2gb or 1gb? I am thinking about this.
