    Which $100 card should I get?


    I currently have an AMD Radeon 4200 integrated. I don't really know what my PC can handle, and what it can't as I've never done any upgrades at all

    That's where I was checking, but I don't know what it can handle, or if the card will be too big

    I found this from your specs. Is this the desktop you want to upgrade

    It looks like a full size desktop case, correct ?

    It says it has a PCI-E x16 slot

    Have you ever opened the case & measured the space you have for a video card ?

    I recommend MSI or Asus.

    This is a short Card in my PCI-E slot. As you can see I have room for a longer card in the area circled in red.

    So that should give you an idea of what to measure. Then read what the different lenghts of the cards are in the details tab about the card on the NewEgg website

    You can also post a screenshot of your case opened.
