[SOLVED] Can I use this GPU on this old system?

[DRickraft]

So, my 8800 GT broke and I'm looking for a replacement (I only need Firefox and Word basically). Just found this GPU for a good price ($53 new), but will it work on this 13-14 y old PC?

GPU to buy: Nvidia GT 610

CPU: Intel 2 Duo E8400

RAM: 2x2 GB DDR2

Motherboard: Asus Striker II Formula

PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro 700W

Not sure if it's relevant, but when the GPU broke, I was on Firefox and it started to glitch and after rebooting the resolution was super low... (It was glitched even in the BIOS, so it's not driver related) but it's still working. When I opened the case I saw that the card was very bent. Is it normal?

Thanks

Should work - yes.
I wouldn't call that a good price though. $40 would be more adequate.

Can you show a photo? (upload to imgur.com and post link)
Probably not normal.

Thanks for your time.
There's a pic of the GPU. The fact that's posed on the fan makes it look more bent tho.

Rather slight bend. Doesn't seem too significant.

Oh okk. Would you recommend me something better than this GT 210, something that is ok with the CPU?
