Hello Guys,

I want to put a gpu in my old pc i.e

AFOX GeForce GT 730 4GB DDR3 Video Graphics Card | AF730-4096D3L6​

which can be viewed at the below link:

My motherboard is DG31PR
32 bit dual-core processor
2 gb ram
some old harddrive

wanted to know will it be compatible with this board?will it work without issues?
 
Yes, it should work just fine and there are even 4 people on userbenchmark with that board and GPU, so you know the combination at least ran well enough to complete benchmarks.

But that's not a "good" GT730--that one's a Fermi and driver support for those ended 5 years ago. The best GT730 is the much faster 64-bit GDDR5 version, which is Kepler so still gets security updates for its drivers (the latest is from March, though the driver files themselves had support end 2 years ago).

thanks!!! can you guide me to make a good basic pc which can run fortnite etc with good quality?
 
Recent builds of Fortnite have been so badly optimized, that even the highest-end Epic Quality requirements that previously allowed maxing everything out, will now stutter. Their recommended system will however play most other nondemanding games pretty well at a modest resolution like 720p.

Games like these are well out of reach of your current system where you could even install 64-bit Windows on it, but it still won't be able to use more than 3.25GB of RAM. This was an intentionally imposed hardware limitation to steer motherboard manufacturers to the $2 more expensive G33 so it's funny to see Intel used G31 in their own boards
