ISO: Some advice with my graphics card!
Hello all again and sorry to bother as always but I think I need some help in choosing what graphics card suits me as I'm not sure what is a 'good' graphics card.
So, I wanna' play some games on the PC and would like to look for the following;
1.) Within a budget of USD$50.
2.) Able to meet my gaming needs. (Not looking for playing the game in max settings but at least, most average games with medium settings and not so laggy now like my card and I have already used the lowest settings.)
3.) Need to be able to slot into my CPU as I'm complete retarded at this slot things.
4.) I'm not sure whether will my graphics card affect my overall gaming experience. Like RAM, etc? Can y'all help me check by looking at my computer spec?
Once again, so so sorry for bothering but I need some advice! Thanks!!!
