Graphics Card upgrade in old PC. (is gtx750ti the best choice?)

[jrfoster15]

Hello All,

I have a Lenovo K330 with a Radeon HD 6450, an i5, and a 280 watt PSU i bought back in 2011. Due to the small size of the case, a small form factor gpu is needed. I have seen posts online about people upgrading to a gtx 750 ti in this pc, without having to change the psu, but these posts are from 2014.

Are there any modern GPU's that might work better? And will I need to upgrade my PSU for them?
The games I'm trying to play are mostly older ones (Skyrim, rocket league, 2k15) so it doesnt have to be a super high quality gpu.

Lastly, if the gtx 750 ti is the best card, where is the best place to buy it? For an old card it is still quite expensive online.

Thank you for you help in advance.

Thanks for your reply! Will I need a new psu as well? I know the 1050ti is a low power card, but I think it still wants a minimum for the system of 300ish? Is 280 fine?

P.S: I believe your link was the for the 1050 not 1050ti
Thanks again
