I have a PC bought in 2011 and the original graphics card GeForce GTX 560 Ti is broken. I am thinking to get RX 460 as the new one, but will this card be compatible with my old PC? Specs as follows:

CPU: Intel Core i5-2500 Quad-Core Processor 3.3 GHz 6 MB Cache
Motherboard: MSI H67MA-E35 (B3)
RAM: 4GB
Power supply is 450W

Thanks a lot

Really depends on what you want to use the Cards for, but when the computer is old, and it doesn't have a good airflow, i would recommend a single-fan 1050ti over the rx 460 and 470. This is because AMD's Cards tend to become very hot when stressed.
Hope this answers your question.

Thanks. But do you think GTX 1050 Ti Compact is better? Since the 460 and 1050 are of similar prices and I often hear people saying always buy nvidia.

AMD very hot when stressed? On all my AMD card, stressed and OC'd, i couldn't get 70°,all thr time I had 60... Please, don't spread these fanboyism... Only old amd/nvidia cards have that problem, but right now, noone of them have problems with heating...

To be fair, AMD cards do create more heat than the equivalent nvidia. But not so bad these days, and the coolers are better so they dont get so hot, but the heat is still there - just better dissipated into the case.
