Dear friends,
my pc spec :
intel core i3 / 3.0 ghz
foxconn h61mxp motherboard sandy bridge
6gb of ddr3 ram
500 gb hard disk
500W ordinary PSU
Pls tell me whether can I run the above cards and best among the above
 
Solution
1. find a video card that has a avga adaptor or it will need to use a hdmi to VGA adaptor
2. if your PCIe 2.0 then I suggest anything below a 1060 video card / RX 480
1. your motherboard specification listed at Foxconn http://www.foxconnchannel.com/ProductDetail.aspx?T=motherboard&U=en-us0000588
indicate it has a PCIE 3.0/2.0 x16 so you can run any video card you so wish to purchase.

2. I cannot tell you what is the best video card from a list I need to know what computer monitor you are using (model/make please
3. what are you using your computer for ? deskwork? photo editing? video editing? gaming ? Database work ?
 
I hope you don't mean all at the same time.

I'm not going to tell you what to get, but I am going to tell you what not to get. Something like Vega, the 1080, and the 1070 will be bottle-necked by your CPU. Meaning that your CPU will hold back the graphics card performance in many cases. I'd also avoid the R9 cards as they are a bit older and more power hungry. They would probably be fine, but deliver 1050 to 1050Ti performance. So, you'll be looking at the 1060, 1050Ti, 1050, and any of the RX 500 series AMD cards. Buy as high as budget allows for maximum happiness.

On the nVidia side of things, the 1060/1070/1080 would be a bottleneck since you are running an i3. On the AMD side of things, the 570 and 580 would also bottleneck. You should aim at a RX460/560 or a GTX1050/Ti. It would be awesome for your setup. You should also consider upping your RAM count to 8GB. It should improve a bit of multi-tasking (tho you didn't mention anything, but 4-6GB in 2018 is kinda 'low-end').

I am using for my PC only for gaming actually I already used GTX 750ti(it was not working after 6 months of usage)
So I need to purchase new card and it should be better than before.
And I planned to buy in quickr or olx because they are giving gtx1070ti for 750ti price(new product)
And causing me suspect , how can they give it for this cheap.(is it safe to pay and buy from quicker/olx)
 
Either the 1050 or the 1050 ti will be remarkably better than the 750 ti. That means that the RX 560 should also be looked at as it is right around the 1050 in terms of performance, but in general the 1050 is a better buy than the RX 560. The GT 1030 is just about on par, just a little faster than the 750 ti, so there isn't really a gain there.

PCIe 3.0 cards will work in PCIe 2.0 motherboards, just like SATA and USB. You can plug a USB 2.0 device into a USB 3.0 port, but the device will work at USB 2.0 speed, and a USB 3.0 device in a USB 2.0 port will also work at USB 2.0 speed; likewise, a SATA III (6Gb/s) drive will work on a SATA II (3Gb/s) controller at SATA II speed, and a SATA II drive will work on a SATA III controller at SATA II speed. So a PCIe 3.0 graphics card will work at PCIe 2.0 speed if that's what your motherboard has.

GPU bottlenecking is nothing to worry about. If CPU can't handle the load your GPU will pickup the slack especially in higher resolutions like 4K. As for your Power Supply I would go with a Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060ti or an AMD Radeon RX 580. If you had a bigger PSU and more RAM you could run whatever you wish but as for the Fury X or Vega 56 and 64 you would need atleast a 1000w PSU.

Radeon has a higher power demand than Geforce, my 1050 Ti doesn't even have a power socket on it.

The only real difference between pcie 2 and pcie 3 is that 3 has double the bandwidth available. Considering that a gtx1050ti won't even come close to saturating the bandwidth of pcie 2 x8, nevermind the full x16, there's not an issue.

Nvidia cards are backwards compatible from pcie 3 to pcie 1.1, Amd cards are backwards compatible from pcie 3 to pcie 2.3, you'd need a very old amd k5 or lga770 or prior to see pcie 2.2 to 1.1. The first gen pcie 1.0 is standalone and basically proprietary, it takes pcie 1.0 cards from nvidia or AMD/ATI only.

Any newer motherboard (about the last 10 years or so) will be running pcie 2.3 or greater. So as long as you don't backslide and try using a very old ATI x1900 or similar, you are good.

There is one addendum to this, the bios. And this generally applies to 3rd party vendors such as Dell or Lenovo or HP. Because of use of hybrid uefi bios, newer cards can have issues with the legacy/uefi bios on those boards, this is especially true of the Maxwell gtx750ti. There isn't many reported issues with aftermarket motherboards as they use a full uefi or legacy bios, not a hybrid.

All that boils down to 1 thing. If a gtx750ti worked for you, anything will.

With that older i3 (3350T?) which are all truncated, chopped, lower voltage and performance models, you'll have a hard time justifying the expense of any gpu stronger than a gtx1050/Rx560 as the cpu will bottleneck considerably in any cpu depending game.
