Lots of sub-questions and statements so lets take this in little bits. "Reasonably priced at $35" Geforce 610 is probably slightly better and starts at $20 HD 5450, HD 6450 are around for $35 http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/parts/video-c... The price at $35 is OK for what it is, but not a super bargain overall. HD 5450 is a substitute for Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics.
The Mobile and Desktop versions of the 5450 are about the same so in a large set of games, you can quickly see expectations here: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Computer-Ga... Just look for ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5450 Intel HD Graphics 3000 You can select all the games and push RESTRICT and wait for the reload. It is not a fast web site. Certainly, it is a step-up from your old motherboard graphics.
http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu_li... G3D gets to about 230 to 240 from 22, so 10 times the graphics power, but is still one tenth of high end gaming cards today. The CPU also now comes into question and the DRAM because your system is an older one and performance could vary a lot. You also need to assure you have a pcie x 16 slot, have a power supply to handle the 19 watts, but that is very little http://www.game-debate.com/hardware/index.php?gid=411&graphics=Radeon%20HD%205450%201024MB The standard HD 5450 has VGA, HDMI, DVI, so you should be able to use it.
Your display has a native resolution and that is the best to output to it. I am not a gamer, but I understand League of Legends and Minecraft and it should handle on low settings StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm, and others shown in the table. I don't know your CPU, so you use CAN I RUN for each game.
I was looking for a free download League of Legends I found it here: http://bit.ly/1BDydY9 Finally the full version is avaiable! When the game starts, you will have to choose some starting items, and you will earn gold to get more by killing minions or other champions. It's amazing.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
