Well my rich neighbor decided he doesn't need this high quality computer with 2 screen connected to it so he is giving it to me XD.

I just need to get a graphics card and sound card.

It's a dell and I want the best ones for gaming. I googled some and found this.

But haven't found any good sound cards. Is that graphic card in the link a good gaming card? Or are their much better ones?


Also, are there some card that I WON'T be able to use?

high quality computer

It's a dell

Also, that site seems to be extraordinarily bare on details, and you posted a list, not an individual card. Looking at the details on the first card on the list(ATI Radeon 6870HD) shown elsewhere, it would be an excellent card, assuming your Dell can actually install it(does it have a PCI-E 2.0 slot? Does the PSU have enough output to power it?).

[Micro102]

I don't know

And aren't they all Radeon HD 6870s?

[Akura]

Oh, they are. My bad . Either way, check that your computer can actually use them.

[Micro102]

How would I do that? I is somewhere in a file, or do I manually have to open up the computer and check?

Do you have the computer yet? If it's a Dell, you should just be able to look up the model number on their website to see what it can support, and what it can't.

Also, does it need a new sound card? Almost any modern motherboard should have an onboard audio controller of some kind. If you want better quality or surround sound, you'd need to get buy a card, but if that doesn't matter to you, you might not.
