Hi Everyone!

My specs is:
ASRock M3A770DE
AMD Phenom X4 925
8 RAM
450 Power

I want to upgrade my GPU
to play some games like CS GO, rust and rainbow six siege.
I 100% understand that my specs is a trash and I should just buy totally new PC, but I need some good GPU (not a new one, of course) to play these games.

What should I buy?
I'm thinking about 1050 or 1050ti. But this motherboard only pci 2.0, if I understand right.
What would be the best and not a foolish (but rational) choice?

Many thanks for your help!

Running a 1050ti PCIE 3.0 card will not be slowed by running it in a PCIE 2.0 slot.

Single thread performance of your 925 is pretty trash. However, you can always swap whatever GPU you choose into your next ex-system.... its a good idea to get something that is a good value even if your right-now cpu is holding you back.

You could probably get by with a used GTX670 or GTX750 if you wanted something cheap.
