[SOLVED] What graphics card is suitable for my PC?

[Andrei0408]

Firstly, I'd like to say that I'm very much a newbie when it comes to PC components which is why I need some help. My PC specs are the following:
Processor: AMD Athlon x4 840 Quad Core Processor 3.10 GHZ
RAM: 10 GB
System type: 64-bit
Graphics card: GeForce GT 630
Operating System: Windows 10 Pro

I'd like to get a new graphics card and I've been thinking about a GTX 1050 or a GTX 1050 Ti (https://www.pcgarage.ro/placi-video/gigabyte/geforce-gtx-1050-oc-2gb-gddr5-128-bit/) I just don't know if this one would be fully compatible with my PC, what should I look for to know if everything would be alright? I would really appreciate if you could help me out

Doesn't look very good. Inter-Tech was not a name brand i recognized, but after some googling the general consensus is that Inter-Tech PSUs are not very good. Also for a "500w" unit it only has 360w on the 12v rail, which makes it effectively a 400w PSU at best.

However, the 1050 and 1050ti are pretty power efficient.

The 1050 2gb you linked will work well with that PSU. As long as you don't have a SFF case, the GPU should slot right in and work properly.

I would also like to ask you another thing. I've come to the conclusion that an RX 570 or 580, would be a better choice than 1050 or 1050 Ti for a similar budget (correct me if I'm wrong), would my PSU handle that one as well? Also, would an RX 580 be compatible with the rest of my system? Thank you in advance.

The RX570 and 580 would be a far better choice and compatable with your other parts, but there is no way i would even think of powering them with your PSU.

You could replace PSU with something like a Corsair CX550 for 570/580 support.
