    upgrade graphics card of Dell Optiplex GX620

    One of my cousin was not using his Dell OptiPlex GX620 so he gave it to for use. Now after bringing it at my place I am looking to upgrade its graphics card. The problem is that this is an old computer so will it be upgradable. I dont have much budget for a new computer hence I am looking to upgrade only the video card in this dell desktop to play some high end games. Thanks for any help.

    The Dell OptiPlex GX620 desktop that you are using has a weak processor and therefore even if you get a good graphics card then you will face major bottlenecking. For your system you also need more RAM. In any case you can get a HD 7750 for a low cost of $100 for your computer. It will be able to handle some old games but not the recent ones because of the Pentium 4 processor.

    Can you tell us what processor do you have, whether it is Pentium D or just Pentium? Incase you dont know about it then you can install CPUz and run it to find out the technical specs of your system. Also, how much RAM you have in your deskop and which operating system is installed in your machine. Note that you cannot be able to use anything serious on your desktop related to video card and only few 7750 can be fit inside.

    If you have the Mini Tower then perhaps you wont be able to fit a video card which is more than 7.5 inches long inside the cabinet. The pentium in that desktop is serioulsy a bottleneck and also it seems that your motherboard also has Pcie 1.0 slot. If you want to play current games then basically you have to a buy a new computer.
