I want to upgrade my HP Compaq DC7900 Minitower, with a GT 1030 and I don't know if my motherboard will recognize it. Can you help me? If it doesn't recognize it can you tell me a good graphics card for my motherboard(gaming) .Here are some specifications :
Processor : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9400 2.66GHz.

For the sake of relevance, I don't think you should drop any money into that Prebuilt system. In fact at the age of the processor/system/unit, the PSU will not be capable of delivering the necessary amount of power to the entire system with the GT1030 populating the system.

To make matters a little sketchy, the system will lack UEFI BIOS support which will mean you're going to see a black screen in spite of you booting into OS GUI even if you managed to power the GPU with an aftermarket PSU.

So my answer would be don't bother.

So can you suggest me a suitable graphics card?
I can't afford a new gaming pc, because I am 16 years old and I can't afford one beacause my parents dont want to buy me a new one.
So I gathered 100$ for upgrading my pc.
