After replacing the power supply in my system from 300 watts, upgraded to 650 watts. I want to upgrade my Graphics card, but after much reading I'm very confused about what kind of Graphics card I can use most all the cards I see for sale, say they need a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot, but as you can see above my computer only has one One PCI Express® ×16 slot My question is? What is the best 1gb Graphics card can I put into my computer and still get full performance using only my One PCI Express® ×16 slot I want to spend approx $90.00 to $150.00 for the card and I want the card to have at least HD. 1 DVI & 1 HDMI out. I don't plan to play many games I just want the best for watching DVD & Netflix. So please any one out there that could recommend a good 1Gb. card that will work well in my Express® ×16 slot I would truly appreciate any knowledgeable information on what card I should buy, I be very thankful. Thank you for any help you can provide. Very best regards, Les T.
