yea i have the same cpu as you with a gts 250 games work fine on it.

oh yea,if your going to put a graphics card in your pc you might need to upgrade your power supply also,make sure you check the power requirements of the card you buy.

I dont think so. It would be better to get a Core 2 Duo or a Phenom X3.

i agree.. if he has a 16x pci-e slot a geforce 250 would work nicely. and read some more about it if you can on hardocp or something. installing a new graphics card is not easy. make sure you have enough power and you connect power to the card. and insert it correctly and make sure your monitor is connected right.
