Hello folks!
My brother's birthday is coming in 3 weeks, and he is a gamer, so am I. Now, he likes to play games like CSGO, GTA 5, Unreal tournament 4, newer versions of NBA, FIFA (2K15 alike), and some not so demanding browser games. Now he has a HP Elite 8200 computer with Intel Core 2 Duo E8400, 4gb ram, and cpu's integrated gpu. Unfortunately, he is not able to afford anything more powerful, even the 70$ GTX 750 ti is too expensive for him. Therefore, I decided to buy him some better gpu than this integrated one. As it comes for the psu, it has not changed. It is Elite 8200's OEM, but I don't really know how strong it is.
As it comes for settings, he is playing at a 1366x768 medium or low, which is his resolution on the monitor btw. The budget should be just around 50$
. I want to clear out that I'm not minding to buy a power supply for the gpu as well.
So, what do you think? What graphics card should work best for him?
Bonus question: Since he has 4 gigs of ram, is adding 2 more gigabytes going to be a bottleneck?
Best regards
