Hello don't want anyone thinking i'm wasting your time with this couse it might seem as a joke, so pandemic hit and now staying at home with no job, I have some time to kill, and I was never into gaming that much but recently I started playing here and there and enjoy it a lot, but my pc is really old and I'm trying to see if I can upgrade it somehow even tho money is a big issue right now, hopefull it will get better.

Windows 10 pro64
intel(r) core(tm) 2 cpu 6400 @2.13GHz
Mmeory : 6144mb Ram
directx 12
Nvidea GEforce gt610

I don't understand much about pc's so I'm asking for help on what Graphic card I could get that would work on this, that would be better or any upgrades that I could do.
sorry for wasting your time guys help will be much appreciated ^^

Awesome.
I suppose your psu is trash,so i would grab one for 80$ too.
You need a good powersupply,that will allow you to upgrade your gpu or what ever in the future.
Think of it as a 5 year investment atleast.
Choose wisely,be careful when choosing wattage,you dont want to regret not paying 5$ more for 100W 5 years later,if you know what i mean.
Can you find a cx 550?

Alright.
So basically both your cpu and gpu are very outdated.
The thing is,the GPU market is very bad right now.
Everything is so expensive.
What GPU can you get for 250$ in Portugal?
Check used market too.
How much is a gtx 1050Ti or a gtx 1650?

why would you put a 650W gold rated PSU in a build with a 1650 and at max (unknown mobo) a quad core CPU? futureproofing sure but you wouldn't put a 3070 there without replacing all of the other parts

Exactly.
Replacing the cpu/mobo/ram after the gpu upgrade would open more opportunities.
650W might be overkill now but who knows,what if he decide's to grab a 3070 in a few years?
And you dont want be short on your psu.
