Hey y'all...

I have an older build that I'm going to have my kids use for some light gaming (Civ6, etc).

The specs:
Board: ASUS M4A88T-M
Processor: AMD Phenom x4 965 Black
RAM: DDR3 16Gb
PSU: OCZ GameXstream 700W
Monitor: Samsung S24D30H 24" - 1920 x 1080

Problem is:
Graphics: ATI Mobility Radeon HD4850

I'm looking for a relatively cheap-ish upgrade for the graphics. I'm thinking something like the ZOTAC GeForce GT730.

But, as always, I appreciate the opinion of the masses. Thanks!

That card will fit and be able to game at high-ish settings at 720p, possibly 1080p with more reduced settings. The PSU you have will not limit your choices, but your budget might. I would also consider the GTX 1050 if the cost isn't prohibitive.

That will give them a bit more headroom to play on a FHD monitor or TV at decent settings so the games look better to them.
