I am currently looking into what graphics card to get so I can start playing Monster Hunter World but would like some advice. I am about to get an i5-3570k for the cpu and currently have a passively cooled gt1030, I was looking at a gtx1050-ti because it has a low profile version which is a must for me. My question is what is the best gpu I could get while under budget thats still low profile? should I save some money and get the 1050 or go bigger, and where would I get the best price?

  • OS: WINDOWS 10
  • Processor: intel Pentium g840
  • Memory: 8 GB RAM
  • Graphics: GT1030 passivly cooled
  • DirectX: don't have I think
  • Sound Card: Also not sure
CPU: intel pentium g840
Motherboard: hp 1497 (I think)
Ram: 8gb
SSD/HDD: 500gb
GPU: gt 1030 passively cooled

It is a stock hp Compaq pro 6200 sff from 2012 or 2015, aside from the gpu its pretty outdated but I am curious if there is any way to build it

I'd recommend a GTX 1060. You'd get a pretty good deal on Newegg right now as the GPU market's relaxing a bit on there right now.
I'm assuming you play on 1080p. If so, then yes, a GTX 1060 is definitely ideal for you, as it gives you a little bit of wiggle-room in case you wanted to branch into other games later on!
