I am planning to upgrade my old pc first thing: I will upgrade my PSU to 650 watts. Next is my ram which is DDR3 2GB RAM TO DDR3 8GB RAM. So I was thinking of buying a video card. But I don't know if it is compatible or not. I don't want to waste my money :). Here is my main problem I don't know my motherboards LGA thingy and what slot or something stuff xD and what bit it is and if you know how to please kindly tell me and also give your opinions to what I should buy. TYSM
Here are my specs:
CPU - i3 540 3.07GHz (1st gen)
GPU - INTREGRATED
MOBO- IDK(PLEASE READ MY PROBLEM XD)
RAM - 8GB RAM
PSU - 650 WATTS

(P.S. The gpu must not to be to expensive xD im on a tight budget ^-^ I'm still a kid ;also im from phil. You can write the US price but if possible write the PHP price. Also sorry for the long and demanding question xD and sorry for my bad english.)

TYSM!!

UPDATE:
CPU - i3 540 3.07GHz (1st gen)
GPU - INTREGRATED
MOBO- IDK(PLEASE READ MY PROBLEM XD)
RAM - 8GB RAM (FUTURE)
PSU - 650 WATTS (FUTURE)

also I want to play some decent games that is the reason why my PC.

Solution
Use a program called Speccy, it's free, to get motherboard information on your system. For a system like that I'd buy a used card, not new. The problem is you haven't said what you will be using this videocard for. Games? Which games? What resolution?

Realistically, less demanding games like esports games(CSGO, LoL, Dota 2) are what you should play. Then for AMD I recommend you look at the HD 7750 on up to the HD 7870. These also come in newer forms like the 250x/260x/270/270x. In Nvidia, something like a GTX 650 Ti or 660. I think 2gb vram versions are preferable if you plan to run at 1080p.

If you get less than that, like GT 730 or 710, or AMD 240, then game performance will suffer.

I want try PUBG if possible :) also I can afford the GTX 1050. Also my resolution is pretty small I guess :/ 1366 x 768. Also ill be trying Speccy. TYSM for replying

 
PUBG is out of the question. You could run it on a 1050 at 720p, but the problem is the CPU. You really want a quad core for that. PUBG is the kind of game that really does need all the quad core power and videocard power you can give it, but your system even with a 1050 would be seriously underpowered in CPU and videocard.

Then again, maybe you won't mind seeing some stuttering framerate and low settings. The only potential problem is compatibility. Maybe a new card like the 1050 works, maybe not. An old card will be compatible.
 


May I ask what's the most compatible video card with these??
Intel Core i3 540 @ 3.07GHz
Foxconn H55MXV Series
 


I'm sorry if i sounded rude right now. I'm not looking for CPU, I am looking for GPU. Also TY for the suggestion!
 


No problem. I understood you were looking for a gpu i just saw some quad core cpus for like 17 bucks so I thought I would point that out.
 


Oh! Thank you! BTW 17 bucks? That's really cheap. Also question. If I were to change my CPU what should I change it to without changing my MOBO??

 


Thank you for the answers again! Can I ask last question? What GPU should I put??

CPU: Intel Core i3 540 @ 3.07GHz
Clarkdale 32nm Technology
MOBO: Foxconn H55MXV Series (CPU 1)
