Hi;

I have been considering upgrading my PC for a long time by adding a Gfx Card.
The current system was put together in 2012 and consist of:
AsRock FM2A75M-DGS Motherboard
AMD A6 5400K
Corsair CMPSU-500CXV2UK Builder Series CX500V2
Crucial Ballistix Elite 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR3 1866 MT/s (PC3-14900) UDIMM 240-Pin Memory

Could I squeeze some more performance out of this build by adding a Geforce GFX card such as a 1050ti, assuming it will fit in my Fusion HTPC case?

Many thanks for reading.

A 1050ti may help a little, yeah. You may as well just use the normal 1050 since both the 1050ti and 1050 are bottlenecked by the a6. Alternatively, you could buy a used 750ti for around $50/£50, as that would be a great fit. A gtx 1050/1050ti can easily max out the a6's potential.
