Wondering which graphics card I should get, this is my first build. I'm looking between these two cards, but I'm also open to suggestions...
GIGABYTE GV-N430-2GI GeForce GT 430 (Fermi) 2GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card
EVGA 01G-P3-1556-KR GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Fermi) FPB 1GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
Here's the components I already have(budget build, about $330 so far)
ASRock 770iCafe AM3+ AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD Sempron 145 Sargas 2.8GHz Socket AM3 45W Single-Core Desktop Processor SDX145HBGMBOX
Pareema 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model MD313C81609L1
Rosewill RNX-G300EX IEEE 802.11b/g PCI Wireless Card Up to 54Mbps Data Rates 64/128bit WEP WPA WPA2 802.1x, 802.11i, AES, ...
LOGISYS Computer PS575XBK 575W ATX12V SLI Ready Power Supply
COOLER MASTER Elite 330 Upgraded RC-330U-KKN1 Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
ASUS VE198T Black 19" LED BackLight LCD Monitor w/Speakers
I'm wondering which graphics card I need, since I don't game all the time, but I want to be able to play Dragon Age at least. How much is the single-core cpu going to limit gaming, regardless of how good the graphics card is?
Thanks for your time
