I was given this computer after the death of my old one but it lacks a good video card for gaming. I'm looking for some suggestions. My budget is very low so anything below 200, 100 even better. I'm not very technical so if you required more information please explain how I can find it in your question. Tnx!
System:
- Acer
- Aspire X1420G
- AMD AthlonItm) II x4 645 Processor 3.10GHz
- 4.00 GB
- 64-bit OP
- Windows 7

Very good card and stays pretty cool under load.
hmmm my buddy plays with a gt 220 very low power consumption that would work well with your system

As best as I can tell, you have an extra small case that most video cards won't physically fit in. You've also got a 220 W power supply, which is extremely low. And replacing the power supply could be hard, as most power supplies won't physically fit in your case, either.
So basically, you got what you paid for.
You could try this and see if it physically fits, which it may or may not:

Thank you guys for the suggestions.
I do have the problem of having a small case. I've already tried 3 other video cards that I happened to have and none of them fit. As for having 220 W power, your guess is as good as mine, I don't really know. I do have another computer with a dead fan and an ATI video card. But that one is 10 years old and will probably need more hardware updates that I can afford right now.
