Not sure if this is the correct sub-forum, but.....

Was wondering what the best card would be for this MB? CPU is an AMD Phenom II x4 965 black ed. It has two PCI-Express 2.0 x16 slots. I figure since it is an older MB that the selection will be limited, but was wondering what the best/latest I could use for the me and the kiddo to do some gaming??

Thanks for looking!

The motherboard will not be a limiting factor. PCIe 2.0x16 is still fine. You could be CPU limited if you go with a high end GPU (or two). You could also have issues fitting larger GPUs into your case.

You should list your budget and resolution.

Budget would be in the $150-ish range, but I can afford more. Resolution unsure of. I have access to 4 different LCD wide screens ranging from 19 to 23 inch. Could use which ever I need to....

Thanks for the reply!!
