i have a 9250 in my second PC, it isnt that powerfull of a graphics card, i would suggest you look at the box or devlopers website and see what the min system requirements are, also you may want to download the lateist drivers for the card while your there.

It all depends on what your willing to spend.Make double sure of what slots you have.Newegg is a great place to start.

what ever card you find go here
www.pricegrabber.com and put it in the search. It will list all sellers selling it and for the best price that includes shipping(after you enter your zip code in). zipzoomfly.com beats newegg and tigerdirect prices almost always. They also have free 2 day shipping. It does really come in two days also! Great site. When I built my comoputer I used price grabber for all my parts and 9 out of 10 came from zipzoomfly. My case came from newegg because it was the only thing that cost less but it took like 8 days for it to come in.
