Yes, it is compatible.

Compatible yes. I don't see the need for a Geforce 610 though. The on-chip video is about as good.

Minimum I would get is a Geforce 640 GDDR5 or HD7730 GDDR5 otherwise it is a waste of money.

If you had mentioned gaming before, I would not suggest you 610 GT, you can get 650GT or 660GT according to your budget. The 610 is just a basic card which doesnt give you much sheen for gaming

I cant afford that any other suggestions?

 

[Rams Anirudh]

what is your budget for GPU?

 

[TheArqKross]

none above 60 but if i really have to i will try to get the 650GT

 

[TheArqKross]

how good is the 650GT?

 

[Eximo]

GTX650 is the entry level gaming card from Nividia at the moment. It will provide excellent performance at 1280x720, good performance at 1680x1050, and playable frame rates at 1920x1080.

A GT640 (usually DDR3) is a significant step down and a GTX660 or better is a serious step up.

ATI/AMD cards are a little better on the budget. HD7770 would be the first serious gaming card in the series. HD7750 or HD7730 would be somewhat comparable, but can't usually be found with GDDR5 at a reasonable price.

DDR3 based video cards are usually about 20-30% slower and roughly the same cost.

It really depends on the games you want to play.

I would suggest you to get GT 650 or HD 7750, they are slightly high than your budget, but its worth for entry level. Below that you will not get much performance for gaming. The cards 650 and 7750 will be around $85-100 depending upon manufacturer.
