Guys I have a Intel pentium dual core e6600 3.06ghz, 6 gigs of ram and a nec motherboard and I own currently a gt 220 video card which I know is pretty crap and I want to buy a new graphic card and I wanna ask will my rig support gtx 670 I wi buy it 2nd hand and I am getting a good price for around 90$ and my second guess is gtx 1050 which is priced around 110$(new) but by surfing through many forums I found that gtx 670 was good for gaming than gtx 1050 so I just wanna as will my rig support gtx 670 if not will it support gtx 1050

Does your motherboard support uefi bios? If so the 1050 will work but I just picked up a gtx 960 on eBay for $90 and I saw a few more similarly priced. The 960 is on par with the 1050ti but only has 2gb vram. The 670 is slightly below the 960 and uses more power but I think it supports legacy bios.

And I do not mind a little bottle necking and I just a casual gamer and would like to run games on med to high or low would also do if I get acceptable frame rates like 35-40 fps.well I am not a gaming freak who like to hype all settings to max or ultra

Yeah to be honest this sounds like the easiest solution, just grab a lower profile card like a GTX 1050 or GTX 960 and not have to worry about power. They have fairly measurable performance anyway. (I'd still check up on the Power Supply though in case it's super old/potential hazard).
