Hello all!
I think I need to buy a new graphics card [my computer randomly reboots; I don't think it's the PSU; GPU is a very old GeForce 9300 GT; everything else in it is under 18 months old] and I wanted to ask for advice please. I have a modest:
- Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P AMD Socket AM3+ Motherboard
- AMD (Piledriver) FX-4300 3.80GHz (4.00GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 4-Core Processor
- 8GB (2x4GB) Corsair Vengeance Jet Black 1866MHz CL9 DDR3 RAM
I really don't know much about hardware and I won't be overclocking anything. The mobo has a PCIEx16 slot, and I guess it's 2.0 and not 3.0 but I'm not sure. I know this is not an amazing set-up, but I wanted something that might be good for the future too. Should I buy a PCIE3.0 card anyway? Let's say my budget is under £100.
I was thinking this would be okay:
MSI NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 2GH OC GDDR5 64 Bit Memory PCI Express
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0722YF3VK/?tag=pcp0f-21 (I have some Amazon credit)
Any other suggestions? Can I got better for only a little more money?
I love this website, it's been so helpful with my recent problems. I loved building a computer by myself, even if it can be a headache sometimes. Thank you for all the aid you give every day! x
