My Computer Specifications are :

Motherboard - ASUSTeK Computer INC. P5GC-MX/1333 (LGA 775)
RAM - 4 GB DDR2
Processor - Intel G4560 Pentium Processor LGA1151
Graphics - Intel 82945G Express Chipset Family

I want to know that which graphic card can I put in this computer to get playable FPS and normal graphics in games like GTA IV, GTA V, Skyrim, Some Assassin's creed (1 or 2), Hitman Absolution, CS:GO etc

I thought to buy a MSI Geforce GT 710 2GB DDR3 Graphics Card, But I got to hear that its not enough to upgrade a PC

So please guide me to the right way, which graphic card should I use.
I will be thankful if you will leave a link to purchase it

Thanking you,

That's a dual core CPU, so right off games like GTA V and probably GTA IV are out. Also, with only 4gb system ram you need to stay away from ram hungry games like GTA V. Some games should be okay with a videocard upgrade, like CSGO and Skyrim.

A GT 710? No. That's not a gaming card. If an Nvidia GT is what you can afford, look for a GT 730 DDR5 card, 1gb or 2gb version would be fine. I'm assuming your power supply is equally old and underpowered, so that leaves more powerful videocards out since you aren't likely to be able to power them.

Dual core CPUs can run those games perfectly fine. This dual core CPU? Not so much. I wouldn't even bother with a GT 730 with this CPU I think its going to have a hard time with any of these games except CS:GO, the clock speed is simply too low, this processor was low end when these games came out.

Wait, I'm super confused. Did the OP edit his listed CPU maybe? I'm assuming you weren't looking at the Pentium G4560 when you said it was an inferior dual-core CPU... I think if he does have a G4560 he can drive a GPU up into the GTX 1050 Ti range, right?

But this could all be moot as he also listed an LGA 775 mobo and DDR2...

So OP, yes if you have any dual-core LGA 775 CPU, you probably want to upgrade other things before the graphics card, or go with something like a GT 730 as listed above.

BUT if you really do have a G4560, that's a good current low-end chip that will work for even newer games on low-medium 1080p settings, provided you get a new graphics card. I'd say something like a GTX 1050 would be best, here's one of those although you may be able to find one a bit cheaper too:

I recommend you to buy GTX 750Ti in ebay, I don't know what PSU you are using, but 750ti is working fine for almost every PC's. This is cheaper than GT 1030 and RX 460, and easy to get used one at the websites.

He had a different processor listed before that matched his motherboard and memory.

OP I hope you didn't buy a G4560 thinking it will work with your motherboard, it will not. You need a new board and ram for that cpu. Not necessarily a bad idea, as the CPU and system you have is ancient and was slow and low end when it was new, let alone now 10 years later.
