GT 730 GDDR5 on my PC

[jobbydude]

Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66 GHz
4 GB RAM
550 W PSU
256 GB Hard Disk Storage
Windows 7 Ultimate SP1

I've tried this on PC Part Picker and it was fine. I'm just making if it will work properly on my PC. If anyone can give me some tips or something like that, it would be very helpful for me in deciding if I should buy the GT 730 (GDDR5, 1/2GB) budget graphics card. I have really low budget, I'm 16 years old just saving from my daily allowance XD.

I'm also trying to upgrade my CPU to a Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 processor 3.00 GHz.
I would like to know if it will have a good performance based on my hardware.

No. Besides the parts being rather old, the GT730 was barely entry level back then and mainly for multimedia PCs.

Even integrated videochips are already able to beat that videocard. And that's not even the latest Intel videochip.

What graphics card do you recommend? Low-Mid card

What do you want to play?
And for those games you get the nvidia card that ends on ()60..... if possible.

Maybe ()50 ti. But i dont recommend that.

(Based on grafic. Not sure what your cpu can handle in gaming)

The thing with budget, better save a little more. Or you waste money on bare results.

Low-Mid settings: CS:GO (100+fps), Warframe, Dota 2, Payday 2, Insurgency, GTA V, and Borderlands 2 ect.

What if I were to use Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650( current PC upgrade) or Intel i5(my other PC also withl low-end graphics card), will it still be a good graphics card or do I really need to go up for better ones? ( could you recommend some?).

I searched up some reviews on Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 and some of them were pretty decent for gaming.

If you want an nvidia you know the simple line for gaming now.
Also get a card with more than 2gb ram. The more the better.

Now you need to find out what your cpu can do.
Ask in a hardware dedicated forum. About grafic card too. Do not trust shop bots to tell you if your choice is good.

1 good grafic card is better than 2 weak ones, and saves you money in the long run. A too good card only costs you more money.

This. Gtx 980 was best gpu for years. New stuff is often bad some old stuff is good, some is too old.

Thanks man! But the question is... will it work well together with a Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66 Ghz(current CPU) or Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650(probably gonna upgrade without motherboard upgrade)? With 4 GB RAM. I've seen some videos on games that work with Intel Core 2 Duo E6760 2.66 GHz:

I'm not really going for greatest graphics but good performance will just do for me. Like 30-60+ fps low-mid settings.

I'm trying to match my GPU with my CPU.

Thanks!

You mention having another computer with an i5. It is most likely way better than the C2D system, or any upgrade to a C2Q.

So I should upgrade my motherboard for newer processors?

What are the specs of the i5 system?
Upgrading a C2D to C2Q is pointless these days. Even more pointless if you already own a much better i5.

What Graphics Card suits the Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 without bottleneck suppose it was my only available CPU?

Can someone direct me to a forum about this topic? I don't want to make this steam forum any longer.

You'll get proper advice there. Make sure to state your full budget and country.
