I agree, 1050ti is the best budget card out there

will be compatible with the motherboard without problems;

You have a GT 730, if it's the DDR5 model then I think realistically that's pretty good for that motherboard and the level of CPU you have. The DDR3 version is weak.

You can test this by using a program like MSI Afterburner to monitor CPU and GPU usage while you play your games. If the CPU stays lower than 85% or so, but the GPU usage is at or near 100% then you could use a better videocard.

If your CPU is at or near 100% all the time but your GPU usage is lower, then that means you won't benefit from a better videocard.

In any case, I'd recommend the GT 1030 as the most to spend on a system that old. It's a small card that uses little power, so it's likely to work with just about anything.

Yeah, but you're on Socket 775, at least that's what Google says. The best CPUs for 775/771 are Xeons, and they have massive 120W+ thermal ratings. It'd be better to get a new CPU and motherboard than to blow $160 on a GPU.
