Can anyone suggest a decent graphics card compatible with a GA-H81M-S2PV motherboard and i5 4590 processor?

whiteknight3112 · Oct 16, 2015

Recently replaced my motherboard, CPU and RAM (8gb), and for now the internal graphics meets my needs. However i'm looking to upgrade to a graphics card as soon as the funds are available.
Can anyone suggest a decent compatible card, preferably around or below £150?

Tbh, old and crap. will be swapped out at same time as the graphics card install, looking at a CORSAIR CS550M Gold Modular ATX PSU - 550 W to complete the build

that power supply lacks proper surge protection.

An evga 550w GS is a top tier power supply

As far as gpu, the gtx 950 would fit the bill price wise and has very good performance

Thanks, the power supply is a great alternative!
Also the graphics card fits the bill perfectly, didn't really know where to start looking

I also recommend the EVGA gs 550w PSU as it is very good quality. I personally have the EVGA SuperNova g2 (the gs series is newer and slightly more efficient but the voltage ripple is better on the g2) In term so f gou I recommend an R9 380 4gb (over a gtx 960 4gb) which is about 160 pounds if you have the budget as it performs better. It would be a better performer than a gtx 950 and also the extra vram could hep as AAA titles today tend to use more than 2gb oof vram (I know it isn't powerful to use all 4gb but it can use more than 2gb with no problem, closer to 3gb most likely).

Im looking to use it with fairly heavily modded minecraft (100+ mods), which my integrated does fairly well with, but has no capacity for shaders and the like. On top of that im looking to run skyrim, crisis 3, star wars battlefront and fallout 4 in the future.
whether that's helpful information or not is another thing lol
