Need help about this motherboard
August 8th, 2016
I just wanted to know If his mother board can support a dedicated graphic card and RAM Memories IF in the future I will need to upgrade its performances This is the mother board :
http://us.msi.com/product/mb/H61MP20_G3.html#hero-overview By the way, is Celeron G1620 Dual Core can run games released in 2002-2009 ? #3.10 All links must be coded - including, but not limited to, e-mail addresses, passwords and internal links. Coded for you this time.

Yes it can get any videocard you like. Yes it can run upto 16BG RAM (2*8). The processor can handle most of the PC games from 2002 to 2009, but not all. Which is your overall budget? Maybe we can give you a decent suggestion.
Yes, you can use it with a large TV.
Yes, can add a graphics card,(can use with any PCIe card including the latest generation 3)
Can add up to 16GB of ram in total.
You should be able to run those games OK
(better if you use new graphics card)
Here the spec to the mobo.

In the future you can add a PCIE X16 video card. As for memory it will support up to 16gb ddr3. It will only use DDR3 ram.
without having dedicated gpu , you may have trouble running some games , even at lowest resolutions when timeline gets closer to 2009. you cpu have hd graphics igpu , with a base clock of 650mhz up to 1.05ghz , some motherboards have an option to enable igpu boost through bios which shows reasonable difference in benchmarks , dunno if your board have it , i didnt use any msi boards.
also you can increase the igpu performance through reserving more ram to it. it may be a little technical but you can do it in 2 ways , first one dedicated video memory which can be enabled through bios , you can enter the amount of ram that you want to be only used by your igpu , with this method lets say you select the amount of 1gb , and your physical ram is 2 gb. when windows boots up , windows will see the among of ram as 1gb , since u dedicate other 1 gb to igpu.
second method is to increase the shared system memory for igpu , this can be done through windows , basically it is the same thing with above with 1 exception , this time your system will see the exact amount of physical ram installed , and will only use the memory for igpu if it is needed . recent cpus automatically set the max amount of igpu can have automatically , so it wont be needed to tweaking.
i told these cuz since you have a limited budget , if you can find a person who does have knowledge about what i said above. you will get an increase in performance for your limited budget pc. also if you only want a pc to connect tv and play casual games , there are new things like intel nuc boards and asus vivo pc , i dont know its prices currently , but they are what u r exactly looking for also in a tiny size
