So, I built myself a new computer with Intel Pentium G4400, 8GB DDR4 RAM, etc, and now Im looking for a graphics card in 100-150 €/$ price range. Can you guys give me any advise what card to buy? I was thinking on GTX 750ti, but maybe a GTX 1050 would be a good choice? Thanks, waiting! :)
 
Solution
Don't go with a 750ti nowadays its out of date with newer budget cards out now, I'd say a 1050 Ti or a RX 470 would be about perfect for that CPU. Do know that its a dual core and some games will run like shit overall just because it's not a quad core. I would recommend a G4560 over a 4400 though if you can get that instead. But over that a kaby lake i5 would be good to, but if you are set on pentium g4560 is the way to go.

Solution
go for an RX 470, It performs better than a 1050 Ti, costs slightly more with a bit more consumption and you should see no major bottlenecking with it. However if you are building a new system try to get the g4560
 
hey you should have gone for the g4560 but the g4400 is fine. now to the main part the rx 470 is undoubtedly the best budget gpu but if you are getting an rx 470 then you would require a strong psu of at least 500w.
If you have a 450w psu or less then go for the MSI 1050 Ti 4GB Dual Fan Version as it will be easy to overclock it cuz its got dual fans and low power consumption. It will create a bit noise though and will be less powerful but safety is always first. trust me you dont want your rig to just blow up.
