[SOLVED] Computer illiterate but looking for GPU upgrade

[elamby44]

Hi all,

First off, I'm not that great with computers. I had a custom gaming PC built quite a few years ago now and am now looking for a GPU upgrade.

Current specs I'm aware of are:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4460 CPU@ 3.20GHz (four cores)
8.0 GB DDR3 memory
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660
ACPI x64-based PC
ASUS H81M-PLUS motherboard

Are there any other specs that would be useful?
I don't need anything super flash, I was thinking in the realm of a GTX 980 to GTX 1050? Budget is around £160 (I'm UK based.) I'm just worried that I'll splash out on something expensive that won't work with the rest of my setup!

Many thanks!

At this budget i would pick the GTX 1650 Super.

i would avoid the GTX 900 series now that's it's a couple generations later.
for ~$165-180 you can get either a GTX 1650 Super or a GTX 1660. for ~$175 you could possibly get an AMD RX 580.

Thanks both for replying!

Can I assume my setup won't have an issues running a higher end GPU then?

ASUS H81M-PLUS has a 64 Mb Flash ROM, UEFI AMI BIOS. Anything older than your H81 system usually only use a legacy BIOS which may not be able to run the latest video cards.
