What card would you reccomend to replace my RX550?

[RoidoRidori]

Hello, i have an HP compaq 6005 pro microtower. These are the specs:
HP 3047h mobo
AMD Phenom 2 X4 B97
RX550 Asus 2gb
6gb DDR3 1333mhz cl9 RAM
320W PSU
The mobo is running on a legacy bios
Which card would you recommend to upgrade rx550? My budget is around 140$. My PSU doesn't have a 6 pin power connector and i don't know how to replace it so i'll work within the limitations.

Also, I do want the likelyhood of the card actually working to be very high. Maybe this is a bit obvious but i'd hate to waste a huge wad of cash on something that i won't be able to use.

I know the CPU might be a bottleneck for whatever card i get, but i'd ask of you to please don't comment with "get a new PC, PSU, CPU" or other such things. If i could just go out and throw infinite cash at PC stores i wouldn't need to ask for advice at a tech site. Thanks for your understanding, i appreciate any response.

A GTX 1050 or an RX 560 (watch out for extra power requirements on most cards) would be a reasonable upgrade for you. Otherwise you don't really have an upgrade path with that kind of hardware. Honestly, I'd go looking for a GTX 1050. You have less of a risk of getting a card that requires a 6 pin, current cost puts it only $15 or so above your budget. Right now is a pretty terrible time to buy a graphics card. On Newegg you are looking at $140 for the least expensive RX 560 and $150 for the GTX 1050. There is always a used option though. You might not be keen on going backwards in GPU generations, but you can consult the GPU chart ( https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html ) and see what is older tech in the 1050 performance range. Some of those cards I know are more reasonably priced... but you are playing the lotto, and almost all of them require at least a 6 pin power connector.

TL : DR The RX 560 or GTX 1050, but be sure to check pictures to make sure you don't need a 6 pin

Ok, thanks. What about BIOS? My Mobo uses legacy bios only, and i\ve been told newer cards don't work on it. I mean, the RX550 does work

Well, if you are worried about that then the 560 would be the way to go as it will have an identical feature set to the RX 550, however, this is not something I've ever heard of or tried.
