I'm planning to upgrade my desktop. My configurations are :
1. GigaByte G41M Combo
2. Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 2.53 GHz
3. 4GB RAM 1333MHz
4. And a 9 year old iBall 250W PSU
5. Windows 8.1 x64
I'm trying to find a good GPU under ₹5000 for my desktop but I'm confused as there are a lot of choices. I have narrowed it down to these 3 GPUs :
(i) Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon R7 240 with Boost 1 GB DDR5 ₹4950
(ii) ZOTAC NVIDIA GeForce GT 610 Synergy Edition 2 GB DDR3 ₹3100 (Gainward/Galaxy also)
(iii) Forsa NVIDIA GT610 2 GB DDR3 ₹3180
(iv) Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon HD 5450 2 GB DDR3 ₹3050
Now, my problem is that I don't know whether my motherboard will support Sapphire ATI R7 240 as it is a relatively newer/better performance card than. I have no idea if these are supported by my MoBo.
Also, since my PSU is very old, I'm trying to buy a new one but I heard the Corsair "CX" version is much better than the "VS" version.
(i) Corsair VS550 550 Watt PSU ₹3000
(ii) Corsair Corsair CX430 430 Watts ₹2800 / Corsair VS450 450 Watt ₹2200 (Which is better CX or VS?)
(iii) Cooler Master Thunder 500W ₹3200
(iv) Or very cheap Zebronics Gold 400W ₹1000 (Are such PSUs good for GPUs?)
Which PSU is better in terms of the GPU performance/power requirements.
Please let me know which of the above-mentioned GPU is best and supported by my desktop config/Motherboard. Also, is there any other graphic cards under ₹5000 which are equally good? It should not bottleneck my PC.
P.S : I apologize for such a long question but I'm very confused in selecting one of these choices as I don't know which is better.
