GPU for my i5 3470

[saudkhalid]

Hi, some how I got my hand on Lenovo edge 73 with i5-3470, 8GB RAM and 500GB HDD. Now I want to put a GPU for the gaming. Please suggest me which GPU to buy as I have budget of just AED 600 ($ 165). I have a 19" LED LCD (1366x768) so for time being i wont be playing high res but in near future will buy a 32" LED LCD so need a proper GPU for that. I'll be playing mostly BF4, COD Franchise, Bio Shock stuff like that.

Any idea what wattage PSU it has? If you arent sure, I would go for the GTX 750 Ti, otherwise you may need to upgrade the PSU.

Edge 73 came in both mini tower and small form factor, make sure which one you have since the small form factor only accepts low profile cards.

The guys above are right - R9 270X , GTX 750 ti . i would add also R9 270 .

KFA2 do a 750 ti in "low profile" but you have to buy the bracket seperatly:

Its a Edge 72 Microtower and got a 300W PSU. And my mistake its a i5-3340 not i5-3470 i hope it wont hurt my games.

 

[RobCrezz]

Its still a good CPU. As it has 300w PSU, then the 750 Ti recommendation remains.

Being a Micro tower you will need a low profile card.

The 750 ti will work on your 32" LED LCD.

I wouldnt buy that PSU for $8, its cheap crap.

Plus if you have the micro tower you will need a low profile card as rolli says. As far as i know the Low profile version of the 750 ti is the best low profile card you can buy.

Being a Micro tower you will need a low profile card.

Well its for sure that standard card will fit in the system cuz its a standard tower casing

Then you can go for the AMD 270, but you would need a much better psu than that 8$ one.

This would be your best option if you have to buy from that site:
