Hello there!
New to the forum, but this always seems to be the place with the best answers!
I was recently gifted an old HP system with an intel H61 express board in it, with one of the 3rd gen i5 3470 processors. A lot of this is new to me, I've been out of the PC building game since '09, and a lot has changed. I was wondering if anyone could tell me which graphics cards this board would be compatible with. I know it has a PCI E x16 2.0 slot, but I believe some older chipsets aren't compatible with some of the newer cards. Any advice would be appreciated. I'm super broke and just want to play a little overwatch. =]
 
Solution
The model number may help. First thing you need to worry about is power supply. A new graphics card is pointless, without a good quality, capable, power supply.
