Upgrade from Intel HD

[mercyvs]

Hi there, i want to upgrade my little abused friend Intel HD Graphics 4000 to something better, i have a super limited budget tho, about 200$.

My current system is:

• 
  CPU - Pentium G3260 @ 3.30 GHZ
  RAM - Elite Team 4 GB DDR3 1333 MHZ
  MOBO - H81MLV3 Motherboard
  PSU - Random "RIPPA 525W P4" Powersupply

I mostly play Paladins, Team Fortress 2, CSGO & the most intense game: Tibia ( jk ). I was thinking about getting a GT 1030 But im not so sure if i should or not

I appreciate your help. 😀

A GTX 1030 is a pretty decent upgrade from Intel HD. A GTX 1050 should be in budget also.

But wouldnt the pentium hold back the 1050? I dont understand bottlenecks, and i'm afraid of them lmao
Someone i know told me that a 750 Ti would be the "best" for the cpu, but i'm not really sure!! 🙁

Upgrade your ram to 8GB, and get the GTX 1050 TI.
Also you need to upgrade your dual core CPU to get the best performance out of your GPU.
