[SOLVED] Advice for new GPU

[brutzza]

Hi, people.
I want to buy a GPU, cheaper than a 1660 I think but I don't what to do a bottleneck.
What would you recommend me to buy?
I will buy another 8 GB ram, though.

My specs are

Asus m5a78l m
AMD FX 8350
8 gb ram ddr3
PSU 500 W

Thanks!!

A 1650Super is about as strong as I'd ever look to pair with an 8350.... and even then, the 8350 will likely be limiting it on occassion.

That cpu is very slow by todays standards. A 1650 super will do you nicely and won't have any bottlenecks.


But generally that whole computer is quite low end.

Thanks both of you!
Should I change the PSU if I get a 1650 Super?
Looking at the prices, I think I may go for the 1050.

Depends which "500W" you have. There's a lot more to a PSU than the wattage sticker slapped on the side...

Look at the 12V wattage , if it is more than 300 watts on 12V you are okay

check the sticker on your power supply

GTX 1050 ti is not a demanding card , 75 watts

get the 1050 ti not the 1050 if you insist on it..
