Which GPU with this config?

[Belfire]

Good evening, recently my graphic card died. I need to buy a new one, unfortunately I have no clue about which one I should buy.
I have an AMD Phenom 8650 Triple Core Processor(2.3GHz) 4 GB ram, and an ASUS m3n78 motherboard.
I used to have a Sapphire HD 4850 512MB GDDR3.
I do normally play computer games with medium-high graphic. Max price 150-160 euros
Thank you for your future advices

For that price you could go GTX1050 or Rx460, but the CPU will probably bottleneck them.
Also what power supply do you have?

I have a cooler master rs-500-pcap-a3
If it bottlenecks my gpu, is there a solution or not? Cause playing fps games with a constant freeze is not the best :/

If it does bottleneck you would have to replace the CPU to a higher power one, or get a lower end card.

So you know about the PSU - CoolerMaster somewhat over rates their lower end power supplies. That one is around 450w with 30a on a split 12v rail.
You could run either one of those cards I mentioned.

I can't spend more money for other stuff, so I need to be sure about what I'm going to buy.. The NVIDIA gtx 1050 looks really good but I have to be 100% sure that it's gonna work.. What would you do if you were in me?

 

[harrisjb78]

I would go with a HD6870 or GTX560 then. It will be on par with the CPU, cheap and won't require upgrading other stuff.

What going with a 4850 again? How did you like it?

Since I have to change the gpu, I wanted to get a better one.. The game I normally play hasn't got a lot of fps.. thats why I also wanted to change it.. Between the 2 gpus you told me, which one is better and how performances will increase compared to the previous gpu?

 

[harrisjb78]

They are about the same between the 2 so it comes down to what you can get cheaper. The GTX560 is a bit better though, not by much.
They should both do slightly better than your old one, but are still in the same tier.

What game is it?

The game is Counter Strike Global Offensive..
Anyway I've googled both and they're unavailable at the moment.. How much do they take to go back in their stock?

You would get good frames with either of those.
You probably have to find one used. There is a few on EBay (they offer returns).
Not sure what you meant on that last part about stock - These are older so many places don't sell/make them anymore.

Maybe somebody else could recommend card too.

I'll probably go for the gtx 750 ti, hope everything will be fine, thank you!

It's a nice card, I think you will be happy.
