    Looking for affordable graphics card


    Hi,

    I'm looking for a graphics card for my PC but don't know what's compatible to it.
    I have a core i3 2100, intel dh61ww motherboard and 4gb ram. I occasionally play games , watch and convert videos.
    I'm also on a limited budget so the most I can spend is around $50 or 2000 Philippine pesos.

    Hope you don't get real intensive with the games under budget about the best is this:
    Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GV-R645SL-1GI Radeon HD 6450 1GB 64-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Video Card
    It needs a 400 watt power supply.....

    A little over budget gets a much stronger card: Newegg.com - PowerColor AX5570 1GBD3-H Radeon HD 5570 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card
    Again a 400 watt power supply....

    As listed above all you need is a PCI-E Graphics card.

    If you could link us to what is available to you, then we could help you decide.

    Thanks Fabe

    I can't see either offering a huge amount more performance over integrated graphics.

    Thanks Ivan, your response gives me a better idea of what I should be looking for.
    Fabe, I'll list the cards that I see here the next time I post. I haven't had enough time to go online with the holidays approaching.

    Thanks for all your responses. Happy holidays!
