N the problem is when i play video games i always get lag n stuff. So im looking to replace a new graphic card .

My current graphic card is Card name: Intel(R) 82945G Express Chipset Family
Manufacturer: Intel Corporation
Chip type: Intel(R) 82945G Express Chipset Family

Is it okay if i replace it with nVidia GeForce 9500 GT . Or will my comp break xD

Thanks
 
What games are you looking to play? Looking at detailed specifications the computer does have an open PCI-Express X16 slot. However it also only has a 300 watt power supply, which should power a 9500GT, but nothing higher.

I agree on the PSU thing. The 9500 GT is most likely one of the most powerful cards you can power with a 300 watt PSU. Anyways, yes, you most likely can use that video card. Make sure to install any drivers for it, though, and you should also update them from the Nvidia website afterward.
 
I wouldnt waste your money on a new gpu. It seems to me that you are cpu bottlenecked here but I could be wrong. You could overclock it to remedy the problem but you have a prebuilt pc which means locked bios which means no overclock. Soooo, I would say save up some money and buy somebody elses ued rig of of here or ebay or craigslist or build your own. But a gpu is probably not going to help.
