Any recommendation gpu for my old Acer Aspire M3910 Desktop pc? Currently using AMD HD5570 1GB, preferred Nvidia. Usage is video editing and some light gaming like LOL. The specs are below:

Its a intel H57 Chipset.
i5-750 2.6ghz
6gb RAM
300W psu

the problem is that it is a prebuilt system, and they are troublesome to upgrade beyond a video card and ram in general that is why chugalug is suggesting the 1050, for two reason your cpu will bottleneck getting anything faster, and the 1050 will run on a 300w power supply.

to get better cpu/video you would need to upgrade the power supply what version is your Acer Aspire M3910, the number you gave is incomplete, look on the label; it should have something like (this is an example -> M3910-Ei5650 should be M3910-xxxxxx

(without upgrading Motherboard, Cpu and ram) your choices will be limited
you could possible (need to confirm motherboard model) get and used a I7-820 or maybe 840, those Cpu are moderately cheap to have.
if your PSU...

The psu is enough for a gtx 1050? 1600? Not that heavy video editing

Yeah, you'd need to change mobo, CPU and RAM, would cost about $350 all up.
A new windows license is also required, get 64 bit W10 when you do upgrade.
Save up. :)
If you're not heavy into the video editing that's fine then, but next time you want more perf out of your system you'll need a CPU upgrade, i'd wait till the next gen chips release.

if your PSU is ATX you could get a 550W and get a GTX 1060 video which would be a little overkill just for video editing.
