My friend has asked me for advice for getting a new GPU for his PC (he currently has a dell), since his integrated graphics arnt cutting it. He has a $350 budget for a new GPU and power supply. The main reason I am asking for advice is I am not sure what the most powerful GPU i can get will be without getting bottlenecked by the dual core processor, i believe its around 2.5GHZ but im not positive. If you guys could help me out id appreciate it
