What's up lads, my GPU is starting to get really outdated and it's time to change it and I really suck at choosing good GPUs.

CPU: Athlon X2 II 250 3.00 GHz
RAM: 4GB
GPU: Radeon 4600 HD

What kind of GPU should I get within the price of 120 Dollars and of course without bottlenecking my CPU.

Your CPU will bottleneck pretty much any new gpu

Need to know your brand and model of power supply as well as the case size and motherboard you have to make sure it can run.

Plus you need to think about if you want a cheaper one to use for now or one you can move easily to a newer system. For a cheaper one for now, you can get one in the $60-80 range. If you have the power supply and would like a card to last several years with no upgrade, the 250X as above is a good pick.

I'd probably look at this XFX Radeon R7-250X for $110.

My motherboard is an AM3/AM2+ and power supply is LAMTECH ATX-S400. Now that you know that can you tell me if I can fit the 250X?

Why are you asking when you already purchased a GTX 750?

If you're going to update the processor later, you'll want the better GPU eventually.

I have not purchased a GTX 750, a friend told me it's a pretty good GPU and I was just asking if I got it would it bottleneck my CPU and everybody said yes so I'm trying to find a new one now.

I would not run a 250X on that power supply. Unless you want to switch power supplies, I would stick with the lowest power gaming cards. nVidia 750 won't be that bad, nor the 750Ti although that goes over your budget.

There is also the older Radeon 7750, newer Radeon 240 or GeForce GT 730 64-bit GDDR5
