Best GPU to pair up with E7600?

[ddule.srb]

I've got a HP Pavilion with C2D E7600, 4GB DDR2 400mhz RAM and a GT 220.

What GPU is the best to pair up with the E7600 and not bottleneck? Maybe exactly on-pair with one another. I was thinking about a GTX 460 or something. Any recommendations?

Btw, i'm trying to make this a low budget as possible.

Yes, you should go with the GTX 460, it will match the E7600.
But if you will be upgrading your system in the near future, then go with a newer GPU like the GTX 1050 and you could reuse it.

What is your psu?
GTX460 is very old and hot tech that will need a 500w psu or stronger.
It is probably too slow for gaming.

A GT1030 might be the weakest card that would be considered a gaming card. It is stronger than GTX460.
A GTX1050 might be appropriate if you like fast action shooters. Either will run with a 300w psu.

The PSU is good. It's an LC Power 600w one which i bought new. It holds up well and i've used a couple of cards with it, no problems at all. Has a descent output and doesn't deliver about 200w or something, perhaps 450 atleast.

As i said, i'm really going budget on this. However, i won't be playing any newer titles any time soon because of the processor and the RAM limitation which is capped on 4GB. I'd mostly play CS:GO, Dota, WoW and some older titles such as Black Ops 1, 2, Skyrim, Witcher 2 in which some of these already work flawlessly but i'd like to play them ALL perfectly. 😉

Would a GTX 460 or 470 be good for that?

Not particularly
But, a good jump over your GT220.

Despite its age, the E7600 is decent.
