Recommended Graphics Card for Old PC?

Question

Hi everyone, I am new to the scene of upgrading PCs but I've done few research and decided to upgrade my pc.

Full PC Specs:

http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/model-documents.pl?mdl=PCVRZ46G (Click on marketing specs)

Intel Pentium 4 Processor 3.20GHz

1GB PC2700 333MHz DDR

200GB 7200rpm Ultra ATA/100 HD

128MB nVIDIA GeForce FX5600 Graphics Card

GigaBit Ethernet TX/1000Base-TX Ethernet (RJ-45)

295 watts max. / 100-120V ~4.7A (50/60Hz)

ACPI 1.0 Compliant

So my question is what graphics card I update so I can run Warhammer Online or any other MMO at high settings? Please keep in mind my computer uses an AGP graphics card and I'm not sure about the watt issue.

I am willing to spend <$200 on upgrades. I just a graphics card to run MMOs at high quality with little lag then later just buy a new CPU altogether.

Thanks for all the help!

Answer 1

the 2 fastest AGP 4x/8x graphics cards are the ATI Radeon HD 3850 and HD 3650.

i suspect you will run into problems with a 295W PSU if you choose the HD 3850, but if you go with the HD 3650 the PSU should be sufficient.
