Best GPU (without external power) to pair with A10-7800 AMD CPU to avoid bottlenecks?

A friend asked me to have a look at an old battered PC that his daughter has. It's one of those 'gaming PCs' with a A10-7800 APU on it.
It's got a 300W 80+ Bronze PSU of a non-recognisable brand and she wanted to have it play Fortnite and other games that teenagers play.
I don't think she is fussed just wants a functional semi-decent gaming PC that can stuff like that at maybe 1080p low-med settings.

I was thinking of GTX 750 ti models that don't need a PSU power connector around the 75W as I don't trust the PSU very much.

Can you think of any other cards that you know can be driven well by the APU?

Thanks

So you're saying a A10-7800 will drive a 1650 or 1050 without bottlenecks?
I haven't found any conclusive tests on youtube from benchmarks as I don't think it's a popular CPU.
Interesting though!

It'll do ok with them yes.
That cpu is fairly weak by todays standards, it can game at reduced fps.

It can drive any gpu upto a point.

The difference performance wise between 750ti/1050/1650 is going to be pretty much running at low/medium/high at the same fps.

It depends on your location and budget and whther youd buy second hand or not.

The 750ti is certainly better than the integrated graphics, a 1050 is slightly better, a 1650 is better still.

There are a few 1650's that are bus powered, I do think theyre overpriced for what they are but for a gpu that doesnt require external power they're the best you can get.
