[apostolisxristoforakis]

Hello, I would like to tell me your opinion on the subject below ...
i have a processor AMD Athlon II X3 440 Rana 45nm Technology,
ram 8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 335MHz (5-5-5-15)
Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. GA-MA785GM-US2H (Socket M2)
550 watt power supply ... I will change it and buy the Coolermaster MasterWatt Lite 600W

(MPX-6001-ACABW-EU)
... I ask you: does my cpu handle the graphic card I want to buy?
= Asus GeForce GTX 1050Ti (TiPH-GTX1050TI-4 DDR5B);
......thanks.

Do not buy the MasterWatt Lite 600W. That's not a very good PSU. What is the exact model number of your 550W power supply?

Your CPU will be a limitation, but you can still pair the GTX 1050 Ti with it.

I had an Athlon II X3 445, I can tell you that there are games that will be essentially unplayable no matter what videocard you get.

In my opinion, a 1050 is the most you should buy for that computer and even then only if you understand you will be limited to older or less demanding games.
