Which is the best video card for Dell Dimension E521?

[jonmoya73]

I now have a Dell Dimension E521 with 850 W power suply, 4 GB DDR2 Ram, Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6400+, 3200 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 2 Logical Processor(s), and AMD Saphire R7 240 2GB DDR3.

So which of the R7 250 should I get?

Your best bet is AMD r7 250. It is a budget graphic card with excellent performance and best for ddr2 motherboards. Although can you open up the case and post the picture of your power supply.

Would the one you said run better? If so which of the R7 250 should I get?

make sure not to use a dual slot gpu as it will not work with the way the pci slots are placed but my pc is very similar to yours same cpu but 8gb of ram 1tb hdd and a gtx 745 which is an oem card so u cant really buy it alone new as they usually come in a system

Thats a pretty decent r7 250 and should work fine with your 850w power supply or if you might have been mistaken and its only a 300w

Yes you are right this is a decent video card. I have been looking around for it but my fear is that it doesn't fit.

P.S. I have no idea on how to put pictures here.

It should fit in your case i have the same exact computer it only fits a single slot card and that card is a single slot card
