[SOLVED] What graphics card should i get?

[NikV0985]

So i have a nice older machine which i want to turn into a low end gaming machine. It is lga 775 soccet, with a c2d e8400 3ghz, 2 gb of ddr3 ram and a weak power supply with only 280 watts. Si first i want to put a cheap graphics card in it so it would have one at least until i save money to add a new psu, more ram and a core 2 quad cpu,and then add a better graphics card. But right now i found a couple of candidates for under 20 dollars used. A gt 610 for 20 dollars, a hd 5450 for 20 dollars, a geforce gt 210 for 14, a hd 4550 for 15 dollars, a hd 6450 for 18 and an nvidia nvs 300 for 12 dollars. All of these in my town used with personal pick up and a 24 hour test period. I know they are not good at all but i need something to play some games like far cry 3 on low and gta iv on low-med. And ebay and other website like it i wanted to try but on most of things from there there is a big shiping fee.

They seem all bad choices... Best of those is GT 610
Is there anywhere HD 7750? With that GPU it could work with 280W, which is similar/same as my R7 250 which plays most modern games today (Expect Triple AAA as witcher 3).

Which 280W psu would be it (Brand and model)? How many amps does it have on 12V rail?

The GT 610 out of them, but they are not good cards.

It has 18A on the 12v,and no the 7750 go for as much as a gtx 750 ti, i know its worth it but i need one just for some light gaming in older titles and similiar, plus i am not sure If the psu has additionall 6 pins for other graphics cards, so i am looking dpr something wit a low tdp and cheap so i can ugrade later with a 750 ti or simular

I know but they are cheap and just temporary

And for the psu i am going to replace it with a fsp 450 watt or similar, and the current 280 w is a lite on one

Seriously? 7750 goes similar to 750Ti? Dang. Here's like 15€. GT 610, its the best one of all.

Prices are weird here in Serbia, and too high If you ask me, they both go for 60-70 dollars used sometimes you see a gtx 750 ti for 50

I agree. I wanted to send to my friend whole PC but the postage would be too expensive.. (Pozz btw).

I will try and get the hd 7750 but if not i will leave it with an integrated gpu until i get the money for a better video card
