Avoid these like the plague they use DDR4 and are much slower.

These two are equal in speed, cooling and Warranties.

Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 OC 2GB DDR5 Graphics Card #GV-N1030OC-2GI

Asus Phoenix GeForce GT 1030 OC 2GB GDDR5 Graphics Card #PH-GT1030-O2G

None of these use additinal power.

This is the only version for a Low Profile SFF case as suggested below.

GT1030 is a low power card that is powered entirely by the pcie x16 slot
No psu connection needed.
The slot can deliver a max of 75w, and in the case of a gt1030, it will need less.
I think you can safely pick whichever you want.
If you have a sff case with limited height, you would need to pick one of the low profile versions.

gigabyte comes in $107 & asus in $125 in my country. why this price difference if both are specifically same?




I bought a wide casing. So, now tell me which one to buy from these 3?

What can go wrong if I use the casing stock PSU (450watt)?

system will be:-
R3 1200, gt 1030, 8gb ram, 120gb ssd, 1tb hdd, ab350 gaming 3.

What is the make/model of your psu?
450w psu is fine, the GT1030 will run on as little as 300w.
Only if the psu is an off brand cheap unit would I worry.

As to which card, performance will be essentially equal.
Pick the cheapest, or the one which looks best to you, or the one which comes from a shop with good service or...

The danger in a cheap psu is not that it might not work, nor how long it might last.
The danger is that if it fails under load, it can damage all of your other parts.
A cheap PSU will be made of substandard components. It will not have safety and overload protections.
It will deliver advertised power only at room temperatures, not at higher temperatures found when installed in a case.
The wattage will be delivered on the 3 and 5v rails, not on the 12v rails where modern parts
like the CPU and Graphics cards need it. What power is delivered may fluctuate and cause instability
issues that are hard to diagnose.
The fan will need to spin up higher to cool it, making it noisy.
A cheap PSU can become very expensive.

Consider replacing the psu with a good quality psu like Seasonic.

Geofelt is right, usually cheap PSU's/off brand/generic dont have overcurrent Protection on 3.3V,5V and probably 12V, they go out of spec of 5% and either goes under and causes instability, or goes higher and burns down your whole PC or maybe even starts to spark, damn, even my 15$ MS-400W served me well over 8 years with Q6600 and now using as Bench PSU.

Both the Giga and Asus cards have the same MSRP it all depends on how much the seller marks them down if you look both are on sale. Id stick with the Giga card if you have a big case not only is it cheaper but it has slightly better cooling.

Power Supply-
$36 for the case that gives you a power supply, that can't be very reliable I would consider replacing that if possible.
