Where to find out what my system can do re: advanced MVS 15 features

I am running W7 with an ntel(R) Core(TM) i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz and an ATI HD6450 graphics card adn 8GB RAM. I am fairly sure the card does not allow CUDA or the new fast rendering. I am out of my league when it comes to these components and which is or is not compatible with something else. Where may I find out which "modern Nvidia graphics cards" might work with my system, should I chose to make that investment? Would I be wasting money without upgrading my system as a whole? (How I dread having to update to W10, one OS I truly dislike!)

Thanks for any help.

This may not be what you want to hear but I would go for a complete upgrade. Win7, the CPU, GPU and RAM are on the very low end. But, it also depends on what kind of footage you are currently editing, HD, Full HD or 4K and what your future plans are.
