Hello Everyone
My friend offered me a cheap desktop case but he took the GFX card, please I need your help to find the best card that the M.board can handle for gaming, I know its an old board but I got it cheap and want to get a High end GFX card if possible according to what u the experts think would be compatible, The board has only one PCIe 16x 2.0 slot.
Please give me two suggestions to what you think should be choosing, have no prefrence for ATi or Nvidia and if any components needs upgrading please don't hesitate to mention, I have no problem spending some extra cash.
Thanks
Joe
