In Need of a Cheap GPU That can run Overwatch.

[VoDkA29]

As the title says, I am in need of a cheap GPU that can run Overwatch at about 20-30 FPS on Medium settings. Or 35-50 on Low settings. Im quite new to PC gaming and I took my current computer from my aunt, so I have absolutely no experience in building computers, or even installing simple things like Drivers, so if you could, please leave a suggesting down below. I will be posting my Motherboard, RAM, and CPU after I post this.

Welp, thank you to all of the people that have helped me figure out what I would never be able to do on my own.

So, did you decide to get the GTX 1050? It's more powerful than you need for Overwatch at 720p, medium setting....you'll be able to max out the setting. But it's potentially a better long term investment than a lower end card that you would end up replacing sooner.

Do you mind buying used? If not, it's the best way to get a cheap card. You don't want a really old card as they usually use more power for the same performance and would require a PCIe power connector. A card like the R7 250 or GTX 750 would still be more then enough, and they usually don't require any power connectors.

I dont, but I heard from a friend that they dont usually work as well.

You should just post the solid amount youre willing to spend, itll be easier for people to send you suggestions.

The most im willing to spend is like 100-120 or something.

Yeah no doubt the gtx 1050 is the best bet and you dont even have to spend 120. Any older card would be a complete waste of money. Id recommend this one (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814126169) or the MSI since they typically have better cooling and im assuming the pc case you have doesnt have the best airflow (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814137058)

So I can get either of these 2 Graphics Cards? Sweet! Definitely getting that MSI card.

Yea, and in future time I will replace my CPU and such, but I don't think i'm ready. I'm gonna make the rest of my parts last as long as possible until they become completely and utterly unable to run any newer games.

Ok, sounds like a good plan, enjoy the new card. And if you have any problems installing it etc, just ask and I'm sure someone can give you some pointers.

Yo, I just found this same MSI Card on Amazon, and it says that its 80$ after rebate, should I still go for the one on Newegg?

Will this fit in my Micro ATX case?

Will this fit in my Micro ATX case?

Yes, easily as the single fan card is very short. The card is two slots wide, which shouldn't be an issue unless you have other cards in the expansion slots.
