Generally anything with 120GB bandwidth or more would be a nice video card upgrade for PC games and Dolphin.

Acer S231HL 23-inch along side a Envision LM-700 (it is ancient but when I have to do school work it is very useful )
Should I replace the old monitor with a new one or should I keep it? I mean it works pretty good for schoolwork. Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bits) AMD Phenom II X4 955 @3.20GHz 8GB DDR3 RAM GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 430 04-29-2012, 08:59 AM
The monitor itself won't be the problem, but the native resolution of the monitor is what would be best to set dolphin higher than. If it's a 5" 800x600 then it needs a less powerful GPU to drive it than a 50" 2560x1600.

Yes I was mainly concerned with the screen resolution. A 550 TI will easily meet and surpass your needs.

Well if this is what you mean: eVGA GeForce GTX 550Ti Graphics card - 1 GB - GDDR5 SDRAM
I am fine with it as long as it can handle all my games that my current card can (I am sure it can lol) Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bits) AMD Phenom II X4 955 @3.20GHz 8GB DDR3 RAM GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 430 04-29-2012, 02:43 PM
Sure. For high end pc gaming you might want to look at a GTX 560 or GTX 560 TI instead but if you're just using this for dolphin and lightweight modern games a GTX 550 TI is fine and will save you some money.
