I recently received a PC free of charge from 2007. After replacing the broken PSU and RAM, I'm upgrading it a little bit so I can play some games (nothing serious) it now has:
Motherboard: Intel Lakeport-G i945G
CPU: Intel core 2 duo E6550
PSU: ANTEC VP450P 450 Watt (one of the basiq range)
GPU: Nvidia 8400GS
2GB of RAM
I'm looking to upgrade the graphics to something a little better. Any ideas and opinions on what could be a better GPU just for some basic gaming without causing a bottleneck (whatever that is haha.) I'm looking for basically the best card I can get into this machine without causing any issues.
If any other information is needed just ask. Budget isn't really an issue since I'm assuming since it's such an old machine the GPU won't be anything fancy either.
Any help would be great. Thanks. :)
If budget isn't an issue then I'd suggest SLI'ing 2 gtx690s together for a cool 2000 dollars.
In all seriousness, I think either the nvidia 200 line or the and 5000 line is as far as it goes with that CPU.

9800 GT also might be good. You should be able to find something that works well with that cpu for pretty cheap.
