Which GPU for 300w and 25 cm/10 inch of space?

[Dionykn]

I have a Dell 3847 and I want to upgrade my PC with a GPU, but i only have 300W PSU and 25 cm/10 inch of space in my case. Which card is my way to go at a reasonable price? (€100-250)

I have been looking at Nvidia's 750ti, but it's not powerfull enough to my liking.
I have also looked at the r9 280x from AMD and a 650W PSU from Sharkoon but the card is to big for my pc.

Is there anything you guys could recommend or should i just upgrade my case or psu?
thx in advance

I don't think i have molex either

Take a picture and post what you have that is not currently in use. We'll tell you what it is, and then you can convert from that.

This is the only connector which is not in use, it is SATA am i right? I guess my psu is very limited when it comes to connection. I hope you guys can figure something out.

Yeah, that's a SATA. I am not sure if a converter would provide enough power from that plug. It might, since the card won't draw that much power. You can give it a shot and see what happens; otherwise, just go for the Superclocked version of the card, which doesn't require a plug at all.

Allright thanks, but how could i try without having such card? Should i buy one to just try?

You'd have to just get the card and the adapter to see if it will work. For that, you might want to see if you can do a free return to the store you're buying from. If you don't want to deal with that, just order the the Superclocked version. It's plenty fast by comparison - easier.

FTW does exactly one thing more than the SC: allows you to push an overclock. You can overclock both cards. FTW just allows more. Performance is the same until you push things, and your PSU may not have the juice for that anyway.

Alright so the SC should be a better choise?
