OMG that is OLD (both!) in fact as of the newest drivers those and many other legacy cards WON'T WORK because NVidia stopped supporting them a long while ago (http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/topic/31119-r343-drivers-will-no-longer-support-these-gpus/).

The best place to know "Can I run it?" is www.canirunit.com. Per them the MINIMUM is a GTX6800 http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/requirements/nba-2k14/11835/?p=a (i.e. it turns on with lowest setting and crap graphics).

Honestly you need to toss that system if you have all old parts like that and just snag a simple i5 PC ($349 or so www.slickdeals.net and search i5 Desktop) then pick up a GTX 750Ti ($130 http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-02gp43753kr ) for low end demanding games like that. Otherwise the CHEAPER answer would be to just buy a PS3 / PS4 console as the better answer (PS3 is only $129, PS4 $399).

Your saying that Nvidia GeForce gt 210 is OLDIE? really man? It's still available in our country in th Phillipines! and it's BNEW! Here's my system specs :
Samsung Mobo
PSU : Sentimental 500 watts
1 gb TwinMOS memory ddr2
Brisbane AMD Athlon X2 4200+

Your being lied to, the GT 210 was release on October 12, 2009 for sale http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_200_series
That is a 5 year old card. Nevermind your ancient Athlon X2 which was released in Dec 2006 !!!!

Hardware parts are ONLY warrantied for THREE YEARS. Your talking now going into 9 year old parts.

Actually Here in the PH! some pc parts that you Americans, Chinese, koreans throw even if it's working was delivered here in the ph as second hand! And this PC was my 1st pc, but i have my own pc too it's
Mobo - GIGAByTE
Memory - 2Gigs
Video - Nvidia Geforce 8800 GT
PSU - CD - R King (A PH Brand PSU) 600 watts

then i tried playing 2k10 on this PC (the Nvidia Geforce 7300GT) then it automatically set it's settings! OS is Windows 7 64 bit

So suggest me a GPU that works with nbA2k ?? Cheap ones please, Incude RADEONS too! I'm just a kid so i don't know more about these! Thnks guys for helping me too!

Oh and i just got word from them that theyve got a new GPu a GT 640 1gb, How about that?

Well a 640 is a lower end card, BUT it could play those. Any of the others your mentioning (ones that are 9 year old parts) are way too old and don't support any MODERN Games. Basically, if you have a 9 year old card, then you play 9 year old games (ones from 2005) not modern games (2012, 2013, 2014), it isn't capable to play the games, the tech just doesn't work.

"some pc parts that you Americans, Chinese, koreans throw even if it's working "- Uhmmm you all are being mislead and let me explain a little okay so you have the right context. While you call get "some pc parts...working" that is a facade, because the hardware is only guaranteed for three years, then will 'die' at anytime after then, suddenly and without 'explanation'. The real scientific story is, as you push electricity over the parts, the diodes, circuits, resisters, etc. 'wear out' over time with the power pulsing through them. The 'harder' (like OverClocking) you force more electricity over the parts, the quicker they 'fail' repeatedly. Consumers going to the store don't expect 1 in every 4 things they buy to just 'die' when they first buy it (as in the case of the PH may be okay with), but if we kept these USED working parts laying around that or 'worse' (1 in every two electronics don't work) would happen.

So while it 'works' today, a week from now, month, 3 months just a year from now, will you have to buy another immediately because this is dead, YEP happens with those products. This of course the plain issue the hardware can't (as in YOUR CASE) support the software currently released,
