I know.. DONT tell us what sort of problems.. let us guess.. you are sure to get good advice that way!!! :??::fou:

But to answer your question.. is it a good card?... it should work reliably..
is it powerful enough for what you want? who knows. .you don't say what you want it for.
But you can see where It ranks

That card is not suitable for modern games, but is fine for office-type work or in a HTPC. If you want to play games, look for a HD7750 (AMD) or GTX650 (nVidia) as minimums. The latter usually needs a PCIe power connector, although Asus has a model that does not.

That graphics, card as said before, will work for games made a few years ago. I can't really tell if it is compatible with your PC as there are no specs, but make sure the power supply can handle it and make sure you have the latest graphics drivers installed.

P.S. I personally have a GTX 550ti and that seems to work pretty good for me, but requires at least a 500W PSU.
 


the GTX 550ti costs ALOT in my country costs about 300 $ used
 


my budget is about 60$ and my psu is a 500W with no PCIe power plugs just IDE power and SATA power
 


so i might be getting a nvidia geforce 650gtx is that good ? (i`m buying a molex to 8pin adapter for the power)
 

don`t know about the brand or the model i know it`s a 5 w
 
With no PCIe power cable(s), at best I'd assume it is overrated by no less than 25%. This means it might be good for 19A on +12V; might be. The strongest card you should consider is the HD7750, which requires no PCIe power cable. If that is not available or too expensive, a HD6670 should also be safe. Make sure you get one with GDDR5 instead of DDR3.
