Question Revive old PC

[Ashckroft94]

Hello guys!
I have old pc which i want to revive cause the GPU is damaged.
The specs are:
Amd 9950 x4 black edition
M3a78 MB
HD 4830 ATI (not working)
4gb 1066
Give me suggestions for replacement on that GPU if you can.

Not knowing what your budget is, I would opt for a GTX 1050 or 1050 Ti (if you use it for gaming). Either will be bottlenecked somewhat by the old, slow CPU, but I'd still go with that card over a slower one to get best frame rates in GPU-linited games that may not be as CPU demanding.
2nd choice would be a RX 560 4GB.

Going to want some more RAM also.

Thanks for the feedback. Sounds like you aren't a gamer. Just need a video card to replace the dead one.

I am, but I don't play anything new or high end demanding.Plus the games I play on the PC with whatever build I run on custom specs is with lowered settings to increase performance,stability and decrease bad interactions.Im speaking of Dota 2/ Overwatch / Hearstone / HoT which run perfectly fine on low to mid settings.

I didn't pick the GTX , because It would probably have problems with the BIOS mostly.
This PC is more of a like something I don't wanna trow away since is my first and custom build computer.I can afford to buy new one,but i really don't want to.

Plus its not actually good idea for me to buy PC atm since in 1 or 2 years they are changing most of the hardware generations with new types of memory and CPU.
