Hey mattxq86

First of all, you should tell us the specs of your system. And your budget as well.

Re: Graphics Cards

Welcome to Tech Forums!

You're mostly on the right track. You just need to tell us what mobo you use.

Re: Graphics Cards

you'll also need to make sure your PSU supplies enough power for the graphics card

I'd also reccomend upgrading from a motherboard with only AGP and PCI to a motherboard with PCI-E, there are no longer any AGP cards produced, its hard to find them and they have siginificantly worse performance compared to pcie
