As the title suggests, I'm looking to upgrade my girlfriends computer. I'll be buying a cheap used card, so I won't be spending much at all. She's not interested in upgrading her entire system nor does she have the money;  So we are just gonna go with this to improve her experience while gaming with me. My real question is, What card would be compatible with her mother board? I don't know anything about this board. She plays H1Z1 with me and only gets like 8-12 fps on her integrated graphics. Like I said, putting out money for a new system is not really an option. Her computer isn't at my house, here are the specs that I can remember. 

Core i3 2120

Mobo: Dell 0478vn

6gb ram

500gb hdd

Unknown PSU Wattage. 

 

Any help will be appreciated, Thanks guys =)

as long as it has a free PCIe slot it will be fine. even flagship cards dont use more than PCIe 2.0 x8 (except dual-GPU).

But considering the rest of the "setup" a GTX750Ti is about the max I'd suggest. If you'd really want to a 960 but that could already be too much.
