Which graphics card to match my spec?
Discussion
Morning all
Haven't PC gamed for about 5 years, but after seeing some of the games out there on PC, particularly that WW1 flight sim!
I built a PC last year for general use, will it be beefy enough (+ a graphics card) to play games? I think I can overclock it/unlock the fourth core if need be!
AMD Phenom X3 (not sure on clock speed - possibly 3.2ghz)
4gb DDR3 ram
Windows 7 64bit
Also I run two monitors, currently using an old Nvidia 256mb card, I presume that will be useless these days? If so any recommendation on cards?
Thanks
Dan

You should be OK with that processor and RAM to run that WWI sim on medium settings. What's your budget for the GFX card?
You can purchase an entirely adequate card with 1GB of memory for £100-120 or so. I went with a GeForce GTX 460.
