New PC Upgrade

[Knucklehead729]

I recently bought the Compaq Presario cq5500f. I would like to put a dedicated gpu in it for around $75. Could you find me one please? I don't know which to pick. I want to play games like dayz, arma 2, gmod on med settings getting decent fps. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

first WTF is up with your Tags Dude? -Xbox live??
and there´s no way you´re going to find a 75$ Gpu that can run DayZ at decent Fps The minimum that I´d recomend is a 750ti (that is also in your Tags BTW) but it costs ~150$

PS: Trolls can go F**k off

You can get a GTX 480 from ebay for around $75 if your lucky with bidding, you can also get a GTX 285 for around $50

GTX 480: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40%7CR40%7CR40%7CR40%7CR40%7CR40&_sacat=0&_nkw=GTX+480&_sop=15

GTX 285: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=GTX+480&_sop=15&_osacat=0&_from=R40%7CR40%7CR40%7CR40%7CR40%7CR40&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR8.TRC1.A0.H0.XGTX+285&_nkw=GTX+285&_sacat=0


Some other option could be a 9800GTX or 8800GT or 9800GT

It depends on what Graphics card your going to be getting

 

[M0j0jojo]

GTX 480: Recommended 550W
GTX 285: Also 550W
and for the other GPUs all the recommendations are around 400-500 Watts. So what I suggest is getting a GTX 285 for $50 and then buying like a 500-550 Watt PSU, there actually pretty cheap so dont worry about the price.
Power Supply Recommendation
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-100b10600kr Around $40 at Newegg. you can probably get it cheaper on Ebay
