Wow, thanks!
On the article, Sliding below the $150 mark, Cards in this range are better for playing at 1680x1050 on older monitors.

I have a Samsung S19D300 Monitor with 1366x768 resolution, so my LED Monitor's resolution isn't as high as mentioned in the article, do you any recommendation for my resolution?
Or buying the GeForce GT 730 graphics card for my pc be a waste as my monitor couldn't run as high?
Also do you have a link to an article that explains choosing compatible DDR for my motherboard and the right bit on the graphics card?

Really appreciate the help! Thank you so much!

Your monitor won´t display higher resolution that it is stocked with - regardless of how awesome your video card is. However, 1366x768 isn´t even true 720p and you might want to upgrade the monitor too. Things look alot more awesome in at least 1080p.

Well, what's done is done I guess :| , I don't think I could afford buying a new monitor anytime soon though.

I'm looking for a graphic card that qualifies to be used in playing decent games, as long as it doesn't lags and meets the requirements for running the game, I don't mind stuck with a 1366x768 resolution monitor for the time being.

Do you any suggestions of graphic cards I could look into?
Thank you for the feedback!

I´d probably look for something like nVidia GTX 750TI or R7 265. GTX 750TI comes around 90 bucks.

136x768 is a standard resolution and it is higher quality than 720P (1280x720); I dont see a need to upgrade your monitor if you Are happy with it.

This is what I recommend, its only $90 during Black Friday week (with rebate): Msi 2gb 750Ti
