Picking a video card you need to consider a few things:

-How much money can you comfortably spend

-What type of games are you playing

-Is your computer hardware and software compatible

 

If you could post your computer specs that would help. I am a Nvidia fan personally but a lot of the new AMD/ATI cards are very comparable in performance and price.

 

I am using a NVidia 970 8GB and I pretty much run everything, even with 5 year old components(I dont even have DDR4 memory)

 

When we figure out what card you want we can assist you with installation, we can link a video tutorial or give you instructions.

In talking to you last night I failed to ask you, since this is a Dell there is a possibility the graphics card is not stand alone and built into the motherboard. If you can go into the Device manager and tell us what video card it says you have that would also be helpful. A built-in video card would have to be disabled to install a stand alone.

 

Click Windows Button>Control Panel>Hardware and Sound and "Device Manager" will be a link under Devices and Printers. Once in the Device manager relay back to us what the "display Adapter" is in the list. If you want to screen shot like you did in the last post that will work as well.

The processor isn't terrible. If he got a new processor he'd need a new motherboard since he has an LGA 775 socket. Really with such an old motherboard, you can spend 100 -200 on a new graphics card for a small fix. But if you sink 500 you could build basically a new computer and dramatically improve your performance. That 755 socket will hold you back from any real performance increase. I'd recommend saving money for a few more months and building a entry level gaming PC for ~$500 that will let you play most anything you want.

A 1050ti seems like a solid gpu to me but if you are looking forwards to building a budget computer there is a build on Reddit called "the crusher"https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LmgJ3F however in Canada the 1050ti seems a little bit expensive if I buy a mini so I managed to buy a full sized card that is also oc'd for about 10$ less. PayPal is currently offering a 25$ discount for 200$ purchases on Newegg
