Good Enough Graphics Card

[jalobotw]

I was starting my first build and have a tight budget so was going to use this https://www.ebay.com/p/GIGABYTE-GT-420-2gb-128-bit-Ddr3-PCI-Express-2-0-X-16-ATX-Video-GRAP-No-VAT/515065604 with the MSI B150M Mortar motherboard
Will these work together and is the graphics card ok to use?

That is a very slow GPU. Look for a GTX 1030 instead.

Ok, the main reason i was thinking about that was it was cheaper since those can get very pricy, but 1030's arent very expensive either.

The 1030 will be a lot faster http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GT-1030-vs-Nvidia-GeForce-GT-420/m283726vsm10183

If your build is intel (so has integrated graphics) then what is on the chip will be better than that 420.

Not only that, but something like this would be a good bit faster for the slightly cheaper than that 420 (which is going on 6 years old): https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GT-710-1GD3H-LP/dp/B01AZHOX5K/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1504798719&sr=8-5&keywords=gt%2B710&th=1

It's Intel probably with a pentinum.
