HDMI cable question

[Kaze]

Yes, all you need to know now is what generation that slot is running. If it's a 3.0 slot it will run any GPU, if it's a 2.0 slot then your choices will be lowered but costs will be a lot lower as well.

I used BIOS to access this information as my PC does not have HDD atm.

Manufacturer: Intel Corporation
Product name: DG35EC
Version: AAE29266-206

Only Gen 2.0 PCI-E 16x by the looks of it as stated here: http://ark.intel.com/products/34689/Intel-Desktop-Board-dg35ec

So now I would have to use '2.0 PCI-E 16X' when it comes to finding myself a graphics card?

Yes, prices vary from 30 to 110 euros (still i wouldn't go too low on spending since peformance might be weak when it's too cheap).

I live in London so the currency is different here, the maximum I would spend on this is £50 which is 60 euros. Could I get a decent one with that money?

Bare in mind this PC will only be used entertainment wise so no server hosting, game playing and all that.

You are able to get something good with it.

Great and as I am doing some research on these graphics cards I came across some DDR's. Which one am I?

[brian1996]

That's the memory of the GPU, it doesn't really have anything to do with the other pc components.

Oh but I'm currently looking at the specs of a graphics card and it says

Product DescriptionEVGA GeForce GT 610 graphics card - GF GT 610 - 1 GB
Device TypeGraphics card
Bus TypePCI Express 2.0 x16
Graphics EngineNVIDIA GeForce GT 610
Memory 1GB - DDR3

[brian1996]

Yep, that's the amount of memory and memory type your GPU has. It's the GPU's own memory that it's using to work with.

Ok, thank you.

In terms of potentially buying a new power supply, is there anything I should look out for?

[Luke]

Kaze you can get a 600w PSU off Ebay for £20

and the GPU I have 6670 1GB DDR5 is £50 and its a great card!

For £20? Is it reliable?

The graphics card you mentioned, does it fit my criteria?

Yes, I have had this PSU for over a year now and it is very decent.
Also the GPU I recommend does infact fit your motherboard etc.
