Planning to get AMD Radeon R7 250, need some technical details

[KmanS]

Hi guys, I'm planning to buy a low-end graphic card, I think AMD Radeon R7 250 is great for my budget. (It's Rs 6000 (INR)). My PC specs:

Processor: Intel Pentium Dual CPU E2220 2.4 GHz
RAM: 2x1 GB
OS: 32 bit Win7
PSU: 450W

That's what I've got! (Hope you won't laugh at it

1. Will my CPU support games like NFS MW 2012, GTA IV, Max Payne 3, Sleeping dogs etc. I've seen on net, these require Dual Core 2.4 GHz CPU. But what's Dual CPU? Are these same things?

2. Is 450W enought for]R7 250? And if it requires more power, and I install the card, what would happen? [

3. Can you tell me if I've got PCI-e slot by looking at my Motherboard? Also tell me what are the other ports called. The photo is here:

4. Is it graphic card or graphics card?

1) Yes, but your whole rig is pretty lame so don't expect much at all.
2) Yes, it should run fine even on the crappiest of 450W PSUs.
3) I don't see a photo.
4) yes.

1. Dual CPU means your processor has 2 physical cores.

2. I think it should be enough wattage but a 500W is still good for a low/mid build or upgrade

3. It is easy to spot a PCI/PCI-e slot. Click here to see They may not always look EXACTLY the same but you will notice as soon as you see them.

4. And whether you pronounce/spell it as graphic or graphics it does not really matter. Some people may get annoyed one way or the other but it is fine however you decide to say it.

1.Your CPU will support the games you have listed
Dual CPU means it will have 2 CPU cores and Dual CPU & Dual-core CPU mean same

2.450W PSU is sufficient for R7 250. Here's what other ports on motherboard called

3.Your motherboard does have PCIe slot

4.It is called Graphics Card

PS:- It will be better if you get 4GB RAM

Thanks to all. I've got R7 250. But the drivers are not installing. I had previously uninstalled old intel graphics drivers. Here's the log, if it can help.

Your AMD Display driver hasn't been installed. Reinstall the drivers again.
Your log should have a version of AMD Display Driver installed. The image showed that my AMD Display drivers is installed.
