Could a Dell Optiplex handel a modern video card?

I have a Dell Optiplex gx270 with an intel pentium 4 3.20 ghz and 512 ram with a 160 gb hd and thought i could use it for gaming but it doesn't have a video card, just a video controller or whatever.



I'm not sure if it makes a difference but i do have the remake motherboard du to the leaky capacitors on the old one and wasn't sure if it could handel a modern video card.

also if i would need to keep it cooler with more fans or if i just need a whole new computer.



Thanks.|||I dont know what video card slot your motherboard uses, but even if you did upgrade, the performance would not gain that much because of your slow CPU speed. The CPU tells the video card what to do and if the CPU is slow, it also affects the video card. If you want a computer for playing games, then I would buy a new computer.
