I would like to put a graphics card in this computer. I would love to play games like the Sims2, but the intergrated graphics card can't handle it. Not looking for anything spectacular, just something low budget which will handle games. What would you recommend?

@B17Fan,

Because your computer is circa early 2012,  restrictions apply.

This card will work for Sims 2

Would any graphics card which works with a 300w power supply be suitable?
