Hi there
I'm looking to try and get my old Dell Dimension 5000 up to minimum spec to run Skyrim. I don't want to spend too much so I've done some googling and the EVGA Geforce GT 430 looks like a good bet for £45 on dabs.
I can't post a link to it, but it's the 'EVGA GeForce GT 430 700MHz 1GB PCI-Express HDMI'
According to systemrequirementslab.com it's only the graphics card I need - ram etc is OK, so my query is will this card be suitable for my PC?
I believe I have a PCI-Express slot (currently running a Ge Force 6800) and the power supply is 305W (minimum recommended for the card is 300W).
Is there anything else I should be thinking about? - I'm worried the PC is a bit long in the tooth and I may have overlooked something.
Feel free to recommend a different card if you think I ought to be looking at something else!
Cheers
Bob
PS. Whoops - just read the sticky. CPU-Z says I have:
Intel Pentium 4 530
Core speed: around 2992 mhz
Mainboard - Del 0W5363
Ram - 2gb
PCI-Express x16
Does this help?
