Looking for gpu for an older rig

[Renon303]

I have an older rig sporting a phenom quad core I cpu and 8gb of ddr2 ram which is the max the mobo will support. It has sli capability for 2 nvidia gpu's.

Have been thinking of upgrading my graphics to a geforce 430 and up gpu for some time now. Unfortunatly my budget does not allow for a premium cards right now (gti,gtx) and i'm looking for a standard gt nvidia card or pair of cards that would operate on my basic 600w power supply.

If I could play bf3 at a respectable framerate at low to mid quality setting that would be awesome. Any suggestions for this setup

I would suggest you a 7750.
It will allow you to play on Medium settings with good fps.

And it will not consume much power.

Hd 7750 would be good.it can maxout most games upto 1368*768 resolution.hd 7750 will work with your powersupply.

my mobo's pci express x16 slots are version 1.0 so will the 7750 still operate under those restrictions???

 

[Sumukh_Bhagat]

Yes.

Yes it will work and there will be no performance loss.also update your bios from your mobo website.
