GTX750 is the first thing to come to mind.

Rhezner · Aug 7, 2015

it is a pretty low end computer so i would recommend this if you don't mind filling out rebates.

here is a comparison between low end PCs before and after a 750ti (ignore the 150$ in the title)

or the gtx 750 like Cturbo said, the 750ti might be nice if you plan on upgrading other components in the future and it isn't much more, only 7.50 more if you only include 2gb of vram and $18.00 more if you count a 1gb 750. Its your choice.

Budget? and what PSU? many '350' PSUs aren't true 350s but run up to 350 peak

Rhezner · Aug 7, 2015

Tradesman1 :

well seing that the gtx 750ti only has a 13w higher tdp (47 vs 60) than an 8600gt I don't think this is an issue.

CTurbo · Aug 7, 2015

I'm afraid the Core 2 Duo will bottleneck anything stronger than the 750 and likely the 750 too.

Tradesman1 · Aug 7, 2015

Might consider that we don't even know if the 8600GT is already being throttled by low poewer or if it is over pushing the PSU, I also like to take into consideration the possible probable age - rather than making assumptions

I have in my mind that i buy afox geforce gt 640 1gb is it medium? budget 50$

CTurbo · Aug 8, 2015

It's hard for me to recommend something as weak as the GT640, but it would still be a decent upgrade for you. I recommend saving a little more money though if possible.

Rhezner · Aug 8, 2015

depending on the games you play a 750 would be a worthwhile investment, the only reason i recommended the 750ti is because I was not sure what your budget is and it does have twice the vram but if it is really tight then just get a 750.

Im Playing Smite , League Of Legends , World Of Tanks , WarThunder is gt430 afox good for it ?

Rhezner · Aug 8, 2015

i would say get a gtx 750 for WOT and WT At this point you should probably just get a used card on ebay as it will be a much better deal.

try to afford this, it would be worth it to save your pennies for multiple times the performance 70$ after rebate or just wait for this to get cheaper, it sometimes goes down to 60$ and has been 50$ before. A gt 730 is just bad.

budget is 60$ and it has to work with 16x 350w psu
and little better than 640

Rhezner · Aug 8, 2015

https://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-video-card-r72501gd5 about 60
https://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-video-card-r72402gd3l strictly under 60

Then get this, it wont run games amazingly but it will run them,

Just listen to what linus says about it and watch this video.

CTurbo · Aug 8, 2015

I was going to recommend the R7 250 but it is $87 before rebate

Rhezner · Aug 8, 2015

at this price point a rebate is worth filling out IMO

CTurbo · Aug 8, 2015

I agree, but usually if somebody has a budget of $60, they can't afford the $87 + tax up front to wait for their rebate to come in
