Question Good Graphics Card for long term

[Funky_Tiime]

So i've owned this Lenovo ThinkCentre M700 Tower for over a year i got help by a friend with installing windows on it and it has worked flawlessly. Now i wanted to upgrade it with a Graphics Card since i don't have one and play my games with the built in graphic chip (Intel HD 530). I was talking to another friend of mine and he recommended me either a 1050 or 1650 but as a noob when it comes to pc building i don't know what to look for in the graphic cards as in if it has 1 fan or 2, how many GBs it has or anything. I wanna play some games that require a good graphic but not the newest call of duty or something.

Assuming this is your PC -- https://www.lenovo.com/gb/en/deskto...-series-tower/ThinkCentre-M700-/p/11TC1MDM700
The problem is the power supply. Which power supply do you have? If it is the 200W then you might be able to do a 1030 or something.

I would recommend upgrading your psu if it is 200w. Normally for a 1050 or 1650 I would recommend 500 - 600 watts. Just for some room for overclocking if you want to.
Down the line.

Problem is I don't think that is a standard power supply. The motherboard doesn't use the standard 24 pin connector.

I just checked and it's 250W i think it should be this one https://www.amazon.de/DIPU-WULIAN-Supply-FSP250-30AGBAA-HK350-12PP/dp/B07SQ9TGYW

But they should be able to replace it in the same case and convert from 24 to whatever power connector they need correct?

You can get a Low profile card. It draws 75W max from PCIE slot. If your PSU can handle it, GTX 1650 LP (Low profile), GTX 1050ti LP or GTX 1050 LP are your best options.

This is true, this could be a really good move.
