Go with the faster video card.

 

Know what the return policy is before you buy anything in case something doesn't work.

Open up your PC and do some measuring. That card is 201 x 11 x 35 mm.  The slot adjacent to the PCI-E x16 needs to be vacant.

Have a AMD Athlon IIX4 630 on a Foxcon-2AB1 mobo, do not know the socket type, upgrading the video card to a ATI Radeon HD 5670 because the mobo only has one slot and it does not need a power conncetor. What processor can I upgrade to
