Working on a Lenovo desktop computer, specifically Lenovo IdeaCentre K320 (5316) I looked at the motherboard and it appears that the PCIe 2.0 X 16 slot is for a graphics card. I've installed 8GB of ram(all it will use) and a 500GB SSD. The computer is used some for making and editing short video. I've been led to believe that a graphics card would be superior for that purpose to the integrated video. I'm pretty ignorant about that aspect of computers. I hate to spend a ton of money on a video card that gamers use and find it does nothing for my purpose. I've seen cards below a $100 and some for a little more than that. I'm not going to spend $400 or more for a video card, I just wouldn't get that much good out of it. Do any of you have any experience or recommendations for this computer and the use I've mentioned?
