I'd also use the manufacturers website, this would be the page you need, assuming your using W7 64-bit. On-top of that you would need graphics card drivers.
 
Yes I will be using win 7 64 bit, Looking through the list on the link you gave, sorry if this is a stupid question but do you download everything or just the version with the most recent date? i.e in the chipset list there are 4 versions given, in the audio there are 2 versions, there is also a hotfix - do I download that aswell, sorry its my 1st time doing this

Chipset: Version 8.0.903.0
Audio : Version 5.10.0.6699&6.0.1.66
Lan : Version 5.796&6.251&7.61
Utilities: Version 2.01.01
Sata : Version 1.2.1.329&31&3.3.1540.26 &29

Not sure about the Hotfix, I think it refers to Asus Product Registration Program.
 
yo have a reasonable PSU in the system.

I'd look at the second hand GPUs , GTX260/275/280/460 or >= HD 5670

The HD6450 or GT520/G620 graphics are fine for general usage or watching a film but fairly useless for gaming.

For the same cost you'll get a second user GPU with more guts

Hi Guys, In the end I've gone for SAPPHIRE HD 6450 1GB DDR3 graphics card as I got it quite cheap of ebay, I have one question, Im not in to gaming but the only game I really want to play is FIFA 13, will this graphics card be ok for that game and if not will I be able to add another graphics card (possibly a hd 5670) as I think my mobo has another slot? Can you combine two different grapic cards or do they have to be the same model number?
 
Hi all,
I have recently become interested in playing games and want to play the latest Fifa, Please could someone recommend a good GPU taking in to account the specs of my PC which are listed below:
K380 Coolermaster case
Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 motherboard
AMD FX4100 processor
Seagate Barracuda 750GB hdd
Samsung 24x dvd writer
Coolermaster Real Power M520 Modular ATX PSU
G Skill RipJawz X 1866MHz RAM 8GB (2x4GB)
Cooler Master Sickleflow 120mm fan

My GPU at the moment is SAPPHIRE HD 6450 1GB DDR3, my budget is £90 to £100, I would look at 2nd hand gpus too.

Thanks in advance

Yes, but a bit outside of your budget.

These 3 are within your budget and should be able to play Fifa 15 on decent settings.
