Motherboard help

Hello, I was hoping someone here would be able to help me or refer me to somewhere where I could get help on this matter.

I have a motherboard that I can't find on the internet, I looked at the manufacturers page and couldn't find anything, I was hoping to be able to find a graphics card that would be compatible for the motherboard I have but I can't find anything. With my current graphics card I have constant lag on almost all my games except old or less intensive games, it's not a "how many units are on screen." thing, it only happens for more graphically advanced games.
Deus Ex Human Revolution
The Witcher 2
WoW
Half Life 2: Episode Two
Doom:3
RE5
Super meat boy
Dead Space 1 and 2
DA:O
Mass Effect 1 and 2
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

All of these games lag either horribly or slightly, some won't work at all.
My computer specs, or at least what I know how to get, if you want anything else just ask and I'll try my best.

Here's my windows computer score.
Processor: Score 7.3
RAM: 7.3
Graphics: 3.9
Gaming Graphics: 5.2
Primary Hard Disk: 5.9
Overall score: 3.9

Motherboard:FOXCONN 2A92
Processor: AMD Althlon II X4 635 Processor 2.90 GHz
Installed RAM: 6.00 GB (5.75 GB usable)
Graphics card: ATI RS880
Operates on a 64 bit system windows 7 installed.
Sound, video, and game controllers: Realtek High Definition Audio

I think I need a new graphics card but I don't know for sure and I can't even find the motherboard specs to know if it would be compatible with another graphics card.

If you can help me thanks in advanced.
 
The "video card" you have is just the integrated, so we really can't continue until you know what motherboard you have so you can get the right slot for it. Is it a built computer or a brand name, like a Dell or HP?
 
Yeah my tower has Hewlett Packard HP symbols all over it.

Additional Info that I found on geeksquad form.
Serial #: 4CE0191PJS
SKU: 9971758
MODEL NUMBER:
WW636AA#AB

I bought the set which was around 800$ for keyboard, monitor, mouse, tower.

Yes, the cards say PCIe 2.1, but the fastest slots available are 2.0 (Besides 3.0.

But anyways, those items you picked would work just fine. Try newegg for good prices. Need to make sure the case can fit the card, also.
 
Alright, thank you very much for your help!

I look around on newegg and see what I can find and maybe check reviews for how large the card is?
 
In the specs for the card, there is the dimensions. All you really need is the length, and then just measure how much room there is by the PCIe slot (Most likely the top one).
 
I'm thinking I may want to go with a 700 W power supply just to be sure to give me a little leeway and make sure none of the components lose power and I'll be able to run my computer just fine.

It should be fairly straight forward to remove the power supply and graphics card and I believe they do fit right, my only concern is the rate at which they pump out voltage and whether or not they will be the right fit for my motherboard. Same graphics card as before.
 
I wouldn't recommend that brand at all though. I'd stick with the brands I listed.

And 650w is giving your system plenty leeway, that's why I recommended that amount of watts. 50w isn't gonna do much. It's more about quality and amperage.
 
The card's minimum is 30amps. The 40 (Seasonic) & 44 (XFX) amp ps's are pretty much ideal since I doubt there will be CF or SLI. If so then 650w not really enough.
 
Wow, ok, I'll get the XFX power supply and we'll see what happens, I was worried since I don't know how much power the other components of my computer would consume.
 
Hey, just wanted to drop back in and say thanks, the video card and power supply you guys recommended is great and it works like a charm.

Thank you very much for all your help!

Back to playing non-laggy games :D:D:D:D
