[SOLVED] What would be a fitting GPU?

[legis]

So basically I have a 500 Watts psu and it has 1 6-pin and no 8 pins..
Right now I am using the Gt 630 graphics card which is... just bad....
I am looking for a budget graphics card that my psu can handle, please help.
I was thinking about 650 TI .This is my first post and a few first minutes on this account, I am new to this site, please understand if I messed something up.

I am from Lithuania so just import fees would cost up to like 20 euro so amazon or ebay wouldn't really work..

I used https://www.skelbiu.lt/skelbimai/ko.../stacionariems-kompiuteriams/vaizdo-plokstes/
to look for used gpus. ( I think you can use google translate to translate those pages for you )


I have a bad bad MoBo: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-H61M-S1-rev-20#ov

and i have intel i3 3.3Ghz

my MoBo can only support ddr3 ram and only has 2 slots ( up to 16gb ram total ) I currently have 4gb ram and gonna upgrade that too

What is the exact model of psu? I would suggest a gt1030 if you want a new card.

For used, a 750 2gb or 750ti 2gb is a good option. Neither need a decent psu.

I really dont know anything about PSUs ill tell you that.

You're going to need to look at your PSU.

A 500W PSU with just one six-pin connector is probably a frighteningly low-quality model. Without this information, nobody can give you responsible advice.

on the paper thing it says model: 500x
ATX 2.03(P4)
if you understand what it means please tell me XD

 

[NightHawkRMX]

That psu is a codegen ATX 2.03 500x 550w

In otherwords, junk with 2 12v rails rated at 16a and 18a. Its complete junk and built on an ancient design with 40a on the 5v rail.

It needs to be replaced. Any standard atx psu would work.

 

[legis]

what would happen if i didn't replace it?

A lot of times really cheap power supplies can cause unexpected shutdowns or fail completely killing a ton of other hardware in your computer.

Your new graphics card could be immediatly fried by the psu.

should I get a new psu first then? what would you recommend

 

[cryoburner]

This doesn't sound like an especially new computer, so I'm not sure a power supply upgrade would be worth bothering with unless you were getting a card that required a fair amount of power, especially if there's a limited budget for the upgrade.

Around how much were you considering spending? A somewhat newer card like a GTX 950, 1050, 1050 Ti or 1650 would be considerably faster than a 650 Ti, while drawing less power.

uhm that costs alot XD

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Have you concidered a gtx 750 2gb?

 

[NightHawkRMX]

A fitting psu would be a seasonic s12ii 520w or corsair cx450.

I don't want to create a new topic, maybe someone will answer here I'm looking for a video card for games, but I'm not very knowledgeable in this area and I get lost. Friends recommended me to buy GeForce RTX. Maybe someone is using this option and can give me advise?

The proper action is to create a new topic, not randomly jump into some random thread from a year ago.

In your thread, outline your current hardware, including exact power supply, your budget, the games you want to play, your monitor resolution, and your country.
