Hi y'all, I am thinking about finally updating my Alienware x51 R2's graphics card. I'm a pretty casual gamer, and my current system so far has worked well for for my needs (although I did upgrade my RAM in 2017). However, my little computer-that-could has started running into trouble rendering the games that I want to play (AC Odyssey, Witcher 3) at the settings which I would like to play them--hence the desire to upgrade my graphics card and PSU, since I'm not sure I am ready to try a CPU upgrade.
I am also on a tight budget, and am not looking for the highest performing graphics card out there; the biggest bang for my buck, while still being enough of an update that I don't need to worry about getting a new graphics card again in a couple of years (and being able to fit in this teeny x51 case) is the ideal! I appreciate any recommendations y'all might have for me and your patience.
My specs are:
Intel(R) Core(T M) i5-4460 CPU @ 3.20GHz
NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) GTX 750Ti 2GB GDDR5
240w PSU (already planning on upgrading since I presume I will need to)
16gb RAM (I'll be honest, I don't remember if it's DDR3 or DDR4, but I can double check if that's important)
