it will automatically scan your system and tell you if you have any updates for it

i wasn't talking about update, can i buy my new graphics card for my old computer?

#4
yes you can buy a new graphics card but I think that is best you can do give the age of computer

#5
my computer used to be preinstalled winvista business edition 10 to 8 years old

what kind of new graphics card i'm going to buy?

#6
given the age of the computer that the best card you can get for it that, you already have GeForce 8400 GS

#7
It might not be a good idea to put a new type graphics card issue because your run into BSOD issues.
You could use a better older card like this XFX Radeon HD 5770 $49 on EBay

This is a better card and will allow you to play new and better games. TDP is higher. What power supply do you have?
Also, you have CPU E4600 which is a good overclocker. Here is a comparison of your current card 8400GS and the Radeon HD 5770

Hope this helps.

AMD recommends 450w or better for that card. You have a 250w PSU right now. Not alot of choices at that wattage.
