Grahics card upgrade

[DaggersJeff]

Help required please.
I picked up a cheap desktop unit last week, as FM17 would not run on my Dell laptop(about 8 years old). Spec on desktop was as follows:-
500 w psu
Core 2 CPU (2.2ghz)
8Gig DDR3 RAM
75 GB HDD
Gigabyte G41MT SP2 775 m/board
Radeon HD2400 card
Win 10
There is nothing on the machine apart from the game and Netgear

Swapped out the CPU for Core2 quad which has speeded the game up a little.
What compatible graphics card should I upgrade to, bearing in mind I don't want to spend too much as I may as well of bought a better machine?

How much do you wish to spend? I will lookup

Ideally no more than £40.

Does the PSU have PCI-e power connectors? If so, then check ebay or other used market for a GTX 660.

Ok i looked up some GPUs and i would say ( for your budget of 40 ) buy something from the GT series . They are not meant for gaming ..... but the GT 610 that i owned when i first had my pc did me a good job in games like LoL and CSGO , on lowest settings but it works ... And it doesnt retail any higher than atleast 40-60 bucks ... . But , if youre lucky look on ebay and try find a GTX 500-750 ? For that price ... . I hope thats helpfull and please make sure ur PSU supports the GPU 6 pin connectors ...

search for used 750-750 ti. You will find good deals on used cards. If you find a better card used within £50, my advise would be to go with it.

Agreed.

My PSU only has the white 4 hole connectors. I read somewhere that I can get an adpator to sort this or is that a no no?

You actually get them for free with your Graphics Card ( Atleast AMD does that , idk about NVIDIA ) . These adapters come in with your GPU when u buy a Fresh New One or if youre lucky someone to sell you it with the Adapters

If you find a used 750 or 750 ti, then find one that doesnt need any power connectors (most didnt).
