Greetings guys! It is my first time tinkering with a pc and i need your advice.

I have the following vintage build:

MΒ: ASROCK G41C-GS R2.0
RAM: CORSAIR DDR3 2X4GB 1333MHz
CPU: INTEL CORE 2 QUAD Q9650
PSU: THERMALTAKE TR2 470W
GPU: EVGA GEFORCE 6600GT
SSD: PATRIOT BURST 240 GB
HDD: TOSHIBA P300 1 TB

As you can see it is a pretty old system, but i don't care because i mainly use it for browsing, word and playing old strategy games (age of mythology, starcraft, warcraft, dawn of war, bfme, c&c to name a few). Lately the GPU is giving up and because i have a relatively small case i am thinking of getting one of those newer low profile GPUs.

I have seen the following cards with the following prices:

Gigabyte GeForce GT 1030 2GB LP - 67 euros
MSI GeForce GTX1050 Ti 4GB OC LP - 137 euros
MSI GeForce GTX 1650 4GB 4GT LP OC - 137 euros
Asus GeForce GTX 1650 4GB LP OC - 167 euros

Which of the above should i consider? To be honest i would want the system to be to reach its highest potential (maybe even play total war warhammer 2?) and i was thinking about MSI GTX1650 but i do not know if the above setup can use GTX1650 or even GTX1050 without heavy bottleneck from the CPU.

Thank you in advance for your answers and sorry about my grammar!
Best Regards

This CPU will struggle with all modern games. Save yourself some money and look for at older GTX 970, 980 or even GTX 570 or 580. They will even be almost too good for this processor.

I could sell you an old Nvidia 8800GT which would pair perfectly with this CPU. LOL
