Buying my First gpu

hi, just wanna ask what would be the better card for my intel core2duo e7500, i have a board named asrock g31 chipset having a pci-e, i dont know if it is 2.0 or 1.0.. but i guess it is 1.0. and having a monitor running at 1366 x 768 resolution.. i want to play nba 2k14 at maximum setting..
 
That cpu is old. It will heavily bottleneck any modern gpu. The cpu will hold it back. What kind of power supply do you have? With that cpu, anything above an amd r7 250, 7750, 7700, etc. will be held back.
 
so an HD5450 1GB DDR3 64BIT would do? what do u think.. can it play nba 2k14?
i only have a generic psu with 650 w. or what would be the best combo among these chips
GF210 1GB DDR3 64BIT
GT610 1GB SDDR3 64BIT
8400gt ddr3 inno3d
1gb ax4650 ddr2 powercolor dvi
inno3d gf9500 1gb 128 bit
Pcie 9500gt 512mb 128bit
Thanks

A 7750 or gtx 750 should work fine in your system. The cards you mention are too slow and I wouldn't waste my time.
 
Is there any reason why you can't wait ant save up more to get a new monitor at least? That resolution is pretty bad.

Either way, with your system and resolution, anything more than a 7750 (GDDR5) is a waste of money.
