Budget: Maximum $300-ish
Already have an HDD and OS plus peripherals. If I can I would like to use some of the old cases I have kicking around (ye ol' tan ones). I also have a CRT monitor so the Card doesn't need HD capability.
I don't play high-tech games but I do like my Sims. Sims 2 was a stretch for my laptop, and Sims 3 didn't work at all. I do some video editing and play Sims 3 mostly. Being able to watch Youtube Videos in decent quality would be nice, too.
What I have so far:
Motherboard:
Gigabyte GA-F2A55M
CPU:
AMD A6-5400K
RAM:
Mushkin 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3
PSU:
Corsair 430W
I need some suggestions for a Video Card that won't break the bank but will provide decent graphics. Also, I have no idea how to check if some of it will fit in my old cases (should I get out the measuring tape)?
