[SOLVED] Graphics card needed

[O8mcmuffin]

Hello, Ok so I have an ASUS desktop that is used mostly for web browsing and printing documents I cant send from phone to printer. My son in starting to get interested into gaming on computers my question is for the mother board ( m4a78lt-m/cm1730/dp_mb) what graphics card will be compatible with this computer? pretty much what can be used to handle fortnite and five nights at freddys. I just need a budget friendly card that he can use on low to mid settings, eventually I'll be upgrading to a new up to date computer.
Only upgrade that has been done is Windows 10 PRO

Do you know what motherboard you have and what you have for a PSU?

For the PSU this is the brand, model and power ACBEL PC9045-ZA1G 330W
as for the mother board its a M4A78LT-M. System model CM1730/CM1830
CPU is a AMD Anthlom II X2 220. 2.80 GHz

I picked out a current video card that should handle a lot of modern games today. The EVGA GeForce GTX 1650 Super SC Ultra. It sounds like a fancy card but it's priced just right and is fairly affordable. The only issue is you will need a slight bump in your PSU requirements since your PSU only outputs 330W and the video card requires at least 350W. Also, your current PSU doesn't have a PCE-I 6-pin adapter which you'll need for your new video card. The EVGA 500BR should do the trick. Here are the links for the video card and the PSU:

EVGA GeForce GTX 1650 Super SC Ultra

EVGA 500BR

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Thank you,

Thanks a lot. So i was viewing the link you sent for the power supply and the 650W is half the price of the 450W. Will any of those two work with the card you added.

Looks like the link I sent you takes you to the 450W when it should be the 500W one. I clicked on the 650W and it says currently unavailable but the 500W one is only $68. I would get the 500W one.

Hello, both parts arrived today and installed. Just need to rearrange the cables. Graphics card worked and he is able to play the games at low to medium settings, thanks for the recommendation. Noticed some lag while opening the games and programs, then again it is running on HDD with 4GB of ram and old CPU. But again thanks for the help.
