What GPU do you recommend for this pc

vil_iam1 · Sep 13, 2014

Hi guys, my pc is pretty slow at playing games, so I was wondering what would be a good gpu to get that would be compatible with my pc.
My pc has:
CPU: AMD FX(tm)-4100 Quad Core Processor (4 CPUs) ~3.6GHz
Motherboard: Asrock N68-VS3 FX
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 7025 / NVIDIA nForce 630a
RAM: 8192mb (I think thats 8gb RAM, not sure if its DDR3 or not)

What upgrades would you recommend for smooth play? I'm not that fussed about quality of graphics, just want to play.

Hello... Yes, you need a PCI-e Video card for your Machine.
Do you have a case that will accept a double wide card?
What is your Budget?, country? and prefer'd place of purchase?

AMD R9 270.

Hi, thank you both for your answers, just to answer your question, my pc was custom made so i'm not sure what the case is, it is fairly large tho (if that helps), I'm on a low budget (hoping $200 but $300 is my limit) and I live in Australia, Sydney. I don't mind where I buy it really.

Hello... also we need you POWER SUPPLY wattage and current rating for the 12vdc... it will be written on the tag on the side of your Power Supply.
Also measure the distance from your Back PC wall ( where the card will install ) towards the front first obstacle ( Hardrive ? wall? )

Ok first off that's not a real graphics card, it's a integrated on board graphics
A good decent priced GPU you could go with a ASUS radeon hd 7770
Or the EVGA geforce GTX 650 TI both are good budget cards the GTX650 Ti is better but it is also more expensive.
But first off you need to make sure you have enough power supply to carry it

EasyLover · Sep 13, 2014

Instead of 650Ti, 750Ti would be much better. However, depending upon OP's PSU R9 270/x would be better choice.

Do I have to open the case to find out how much wattage it has? Or is it programmed somewhere in the computer??

EasyLover · Sep 13, 2014

Look for large label. It is either on the top or on the backside of the PSU. Check the PC backside where PSU's power connector is attached. IF label is not there then open the PC Case to see that label on the top.

What is the make and model of your pc??

vil_iam1 · Sep 13, 2014

my pc was custom made by some local dealer, runs fairly well. BTW all I can find on the case was AC240V-4A 50Hz, not sure if that means anything but yeah, if that doesn't mean anything I'll open the case then get back to you guys later

Hello... Yes , unplug the power cable and open up your computer for the correct measurements and Power Supply rating for us to help you.

vil_iam1 · Sep 18, 2014

Sorry for late reply, found out my psu came with the case (WideTech WT5285B) with 550 watts, I think its a WideTech 550 watt ATX Power Supply, but as it is the family computer and I am restricted on taking it apart currently. Hope this helps...

vil_iam1 · Sep 18, 2014

Is 550w enough for a GTX 750 ti ? Or Radeon r7 265 ?

EasyLover · Sep 18, 2014

550W is sufficient for R7 265 and GTX 750Ti. No issue. Good luck for your upgrade.
