Hello everyone,
I am helping a friend's daughter find a new GPU for her 4 year old dell desktop so she can more effectively play games (mostly mmo's and such), and I had a few questions.
1.) I figured a gtx 1050 ti would suit her just fine and the price seems to work with them. The only issue that I am seeing is the psu says "do not exceed more than 300 watts" which I'm assuming means the psu is a 300 watt psu. I found a single fan EVGA card that says "300 watts or more" when it comes to the required psu type. Is this still a safe choice?
2.) As mentioned, the computer is about 4 years old, with an I5-4460. Would the mother board have at least PCIe 2.0?
