Recommended Graphics Card for $100-$150 budget

[Gmr]

Hello everyone! I want to have a gpu for gaming. Please help me.

Motherboard: EMX-IG41D3-iCafe
CPU: Pentium Dual Core E6600 @ 3.06GHz
RAM: 4GB
Current GPU: Intel G41 Express Chipset (which actually sucks)

your cpu is very weak. any graphics card in the $150 range is going to be very bottlenecked. also with your computer, you probably do not have a high enough wattage power supply to handle a stout graphics card. i would say a gtx750 would be decent since it does not require extra power connectors and is only on a 65 watt power system. you can find gtx750s just under $100. your still likely to see a cpu bottleneck, but thats about the best you going to get. you should consider an entire new computer.

Just from experience with the forums, it is not worth investing more into computers like these. If you do invest in something make it worthwhile, so choose something decent that you would want to be incorporated into your next build. As for your next build consider these parts for two different platforms.

A suggestion build - AMD

AMD FX 6300

GTX 750/GTX 750Ti/R7 260X/R7 265

Gigabyte 970A-UD3P/Asus M5A97 R2.0

Case - personal choice

HDD WD Blue/Black 1TB (Black is better, you may also want to use current drive and change it over)

RAM - G-Skill 8GB Ripjaws 1600Mhz 4GBx2 DDR3


Intel -

intel i5 4570

ASRock H97 Performance

(everything else stays the same)

This intel system will be more expensive then that of the AMD, but is a more worthwhile system (better).
