EVGA GeForce 210 Passive 1024 MB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 Graphics card.

Is this a good card for a budget gaming build? (https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Passive-Graphics-01G-P3-1313-KR/dp/B004KABG1I/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1508427188&sr=1-2&keywords=nvidia+PCI+Express++graphics+card) Also it says that it needs a minimum of 300 W, so if I buy a 480 W PSU will that cover it and all the other components in my pc?
This is my board.(https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157733&nm_mc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel&cm_mmc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel-_-Content-_-text-_-)

The integrated graphics in your CPU will likely outperform that GPU by quite a bit.

The GT 210 is a slug and is in my opinion not good for anything other than hooking up extra monitors for desktop use. It is not a gaming card by any means.

No, the GT210 is not even close to a gaming gpu. The GT 210 is old and is alot slower than the igpu in the cpus that b250 motherboard supports. For gaming go with atleast an RX460, RX560 or GTX 1050 as those are the current gens entry level gaming cards.

Also don't skimp on PSU quality 480w makes me think you are looking at a $20 Logisys or Apevia fire hazard grade PSU.

As others stated, your onboard graphics will be far superior to a GT 210. I would strongly recommend a half decent PSU if you dont want fried components.

 

[Dattebayokid94]

Is there a particular PSU you would recommend? ( I'd kind of like to keep my pc un-fried if I can help it.)

Thanks. I'll probably get that when I get my next check.( Getting the PSU and the case at the same time.) Also how long do the rebates take to come back in the mail?

Last one I got from Newegg took 2 months.

I'll compare this one with the one bignastyid recommended to me and make a decision in a day or two. I really appreciate the advice since this is my first attempt at a build and I'd like to do it right.

When you get your pay check feel free to stop on by again, sales might change and there may be a better unit on sale or the sale for that model might have ended.

Wow. 2 months. 😛 well at least I'm saving money in the long run I guess lol.

 

[Dattebayokid94]

One more question and I'll stop bugging you guys (Seriously I appreciate all of your guy's advice). If I get a card between a GeForce 600 series - GeForce 800M series would it be worth it or would it still be like throwing my money away on the 210?

 

[Snipergod87]

Really depends on the model card. Also 800M is laptop only.
If you are spending less than $100 US on a new card it most likely isn't worth it.
