Assuming the "450W" PSU is of good quality, the GTX 750 Ti or R7-265 would be the most the older dual core could probably keep up with. Check if the PSU has a 6 pin PCIe cable available.

The psu does not have a PCIe 6 pin cable

Then it is not a true 450W PSU. Can you read the nameplate on the PSU?
If so, post a pic of it or tell me the rating for the +12V rail(s).

it's a chinese rubish, i know...

Yeah, pretty much junk. And no way close to a real 450W PSU. It only has a single +12V rail rated at a tiny 18 amps. The +12V rail is the one that does all the heavy work in a PC. That PSU won't handle the cards I mentioned above. At least not for very long. When the card was heavily loaded the PC would probably shut down or reboot. Or the PSU may even fry.

You might be able to handle the R9-240 or possibly the bigger GTX 730. They are 30W and 38W cards card maxed out and would put a 2.5A to 3.2A load on the +12V rail. They are fine for 720p resolutions or below.

The other option would be to change the PSU to something of better quality. Then you could use a faster gfx card.

Are you the same person as the OP here? Your systems are nearly identical and you both have the same issue.
What is the solution you are after...
...a card that will work with your weak PSU?
...or a new PSU that will allow you to use a faster card?
