Graphics cards aren't an opinion Moop, they're empirically quantifiable. Graphics cards A1 and B1 are measurably better than A2 and B2, and it can be proven with simple data.

Just pick a price range and check newegg for the card in that range from Sapphire, Nvidia, Ati-Amd, XFX, or EVGA that's highest onthese charts (http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/2010-gaming-graphics-charts-high-quality/benchmarks,114.html)

Ok, I just want your motherboard just to double check it can support a certain type of Graphics Card, PCI-E (99% sure it should)

go to Start Menu, Run and type in;

dxdiag

Click ok if a little message comes up.

On the first page, look for "System Model" thats your motherboard ID, pass me that and I can check.

You said you made your computer and that you understand complex tech in the OP. Now you're telling us you don't even know what your motherboard is and you're running a prebuilt.

If you're not going to be straight with us why should we work with you. I was hesitant to leave this thread be to begin with since this sort of "gee what should I buy guys" thread goes in Tech Talk. People come to this forum when they honestly need help. PM me a good reason to unlock this thread, if you want amusement go post in Off Topic, other people come here when they genuinely need assistance, threads like this just make it harder for them to get it.
