I have a old cpu Q6600 quad core 1 monitor display 60Hz 4gb ram i use it for at least 5 hours a day example gaming most of the time , youtube etc. Even small info is extremely appreciated.
 
Solution
It will depend on the nameplate ratings of the "300W" PSU. Total PSU wattage means very little. It is all about the +12V rail specs when it comes to gfx cards. Nvidia recommends a 400W min for that card, although a strong 300W PSU using a Molex adapter would probably be OK.

If you don't already have the GTS 450, there are much more powerful gfx cards available that will indeed run on most 300W PSUs. In fact, even modern integrated graphics are more powerful than the GTX 450.
don't even ask i have the worst component that can't even be called a gpu 🙁 it's called intel G33/G31 express chipset family it has GMA 3100 WDDM 1.0 internal 256 mb memory
 
Of course im not asking the exact fps but simple are they going to be playable what do you think?
And also do you think that i can connect the psu with 7750 gpu because i don't understand a think at the "pci pin connectors" thing??

 
i just watched a video of a 7750 and Q6600 and it was bottlenecked a lot (i mean A LOT) i watched some other videos it wasn't bottlenecked so im confused will it bottleneck how can it be bottlenecked when the fps showed 50 fps i don't understand ?
Quick Edit : i forgot to put the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgml7JC5g5A the bottleneck starts from 4:10 can it be because of DDR3 ?
 
Hey i wanted to ask you a few more things what do you think of gtx 1050 ti 4gb gddr5 PCI-E 3.0 i have a several questions if you don't mind to answer them ?
Can my Q6600 stock cooler 2.4GHZ keep up with this card ?
Can my power supply turn this card on ?
Will this fit on my case ? http://tinypic.com/r/dzcnld/9#sthash.sbPUXIak.dpuf
This card : http://tinypic.com/r/4k7ju0/9
Is it compatible with my motherboard?
QE: Probably it wont fit can you check this out its a single fan http://www.bestbuy.com/site/pny-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1050-ti-4gb-gddr5-pci-express-3-0-graphics-card-black/5684511.p?skuId=5684511
 
Get the dimensions of the card and measure your case, the dimensions can be found in the specs.
Measure your case.
The Q6600 will not be able to keep up with the 1050Ti, but as I know those CPU's are good overclockers if you can find a cheap good cooler.
Yes, Singel fan will probably fit, still measure before you buy. That PNY doesn't require external power, so it'll be fine.
