How much juice does your current Power supply generate?
I think it has one of the older PCI type slots which limits the type of new video card I can put in it. It's a store bought Asus computer with AMD chip set. I just use it for browsing the internet and forums etc.

I have a notebook gaming computer that I use for gaming and it's an Intel Based I7 CPU with a newer Nvidia Video Card. It's a lot faster than the Asus desktop which is limited by the video card. I have windows 10 on the Notebook Asus computer. Which is why I was not in a big hurry to upgrate the desktop to windows 10. A lot of my older games won't work with windows 10. Heck I have several computers sitting idle now and each one uses a older OS from Microsoft. From windows 3.1, windows 5.1 Windows XP and then Windows 7. Each OS is able to play older 8 bit and 16 bit games that I bough over the last 25 years. Oh and then there is the Atari 800 and the Atari XE something.
