If the bios is UEFI: GTX 1650.
If the bios is Legacy Only: GTX 750Ti.

Just says Jo1 v02.06

Neither one of those has the right size bracket for my PC

Okay its legacy lol, just need to find one with proper PCI bracket

What do you mean by 'proper PCI bracket'?
There are low profile models of those cards - unless you meant something else?
PCIE 3.0 is backwards compatible with PCIE 2.0.

Oh never mind at first I was thinking it wouldn't properly fit. So since I'm legacy I can do either of the ones you suggested??

Since the bios is legacy only, the most recent card you could get would be:
Nvidia: GTX 700 series
AMD: Radeon R9 series

How about this one???https://www.ebay.com/itm/EVGA-NVIDI...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Whoa, no!
That card is ancient, and overpriced to heck!

^That will run circles around the GT 710.

That ones no longer available. What about this?
EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX460 1GB Video Card 01G-P3-1373-TR PCI-Express

In this forum they say it needs a 450 watt power supply. Which would put me out of reach...

I'm not a hardcore gamer, I'll spend between 30 and 70ish at the very most. If I can run Far Cry 4 tier games I would be happy

No. At that point, you'd be better of investing in a Ryzen 2400G or 3400G with their Vega 11 Igpu which would yield relatively the same performance as the GTX 460: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gtx-460.c265

As for the psu recommendation: It's a generalized recommendation based on an estimate.
It's entirely possible to get away with less, if the unit in question is actually up to the task.
