I am trying to squeeze some more life out of my current system before upgrading to the latest architecture and need advice on choosing a graphics card that will work with my current system and can be re-used in a new build when I upgrade. I built my current setup around 10 years ago and just upgraded the CPU for cheap off of eBay and got a new 23" 1080p monitor.
My current specs are:
PSU- Raidmax RX-420K 420 watts
Motherboard-
CPU- Q9300 overclocked @ 3ghz
GPU- BFGTech Geforce 9600gt overclocked
HDD'S- Seagate 250 gb 7200 rpm
WD 2 tb 5400 rpm media drive
RAM- 4GB DDR2-6400
I would like to spend around $100 on a graphics card so I will be able to play some newer games but am worried my PSU won't be able to handle the power supply requirements of some newer cards.
I've been considering the geforce 750ti for low power consumption or maybe a Radeon R7 370 for more performance. Are there any powerful "bang for your buck" type cards I should be considering?
Thanks
