My idiotic purchase.

[Oby1kenoby]

So, I had this really great pc, for 5 years.
It did everything I needed it to do.
I mostly did 3D realistic renders on it (Using the gpu alot)
and the suddenly, I got strange artefacts while playing games, a few hours later, It completely wont work.

So, I decided to buy a new next gen upgradable PC, Under $300.
DONT DO THAT!.

I got an amazing motherboard and ram. But a GPU That is malware on its own.
Its an AMD R7240. 2GB DDR3.

And I now want to know, Whats the best GPU for $100?
or 150, if it has a good reason.

But I need a 2GB DDR5 GPU for my rendering and animation work.
I dont care about AMD or Nvidia, I just want to use My pc without disappointment.

Without knowing what you have it's impossible to recommend anything, but the ONLY GPU that you can get for ~$100 new is the 750Ti

If you want used part, you might be able to find a used 280 or even 780 for that price. If you only spent $300 though, it's likely you will NOT be able to use any reasonable GPU though, since your PSU is likely absolute crap

I added a link to my specs.

Well, anything out there will be CPU limited since that thing is a POS. Give us real specifications by putting your components into pcpartpicker

 

[Oby1kenoby]

motherboard:
MSI H110M PRO-VD - (PCIE 3, 6th gen Intel Core processors)

CPU:
Intel Pentium G4400 3,3 GHZ, 3MB chace, LGA1151

Ram:
8GB ddr 4 (Something in Chinese)

PSU:
(Something in chinese). But maybe I can use the the old one from my Broken PC (I know that one was a quality build)

 

[basroil]

If it only has chinese, throw it out and get a real PSU. You can fin a Seasonic 350 ST for ~$35 and that will go well with a 750Ti or AMD 260/360. Unless you want to lose your house in a fire that is

Ok, I have an old trusted psu in my
old rig. But any suggested GPU's?

1) Unless your PSU is from a major brand (Seasonic, EVGA, Corsair, XFX, Antec, etc), don't risk it
2) I've already said the 750Ti two times, and AMD 260 once (and now 3/2)

 

[Oby1kenoby]

OK, 750TI it is. thanks
