Does your PSU have a 6 pin PCI-E connection?

What's it exact model?

If it really doesn't have one, you'll have to get a low profile GPU like a GT 1030

Some 1050/1050Ti models also come without a 6-pin plug, and should be suitable

Your strongest upgrade will be to a GTX1050ti.
All will run on pcie slot power with a few exceptions which are highly overclocked and need a 6 pin pcie aux power lead.

What is your budget for a new graphics card?
Are you willing to buy used?

In my opinion a 1050 ti would be way overkill for that CPU.

I would look at the gtx 750 or 750 ti from a used market like ebay.

I dont have a budget but i need the one that doesnt bottleneck my pc and is quite good

You have to be reasonable. What's the point of getting a 'quite good' videocard if your system as a whole isn't fast enough? A better way to do this is to say what games are you hoping to run, and at what resolution? You also have 4gb system ram, that will limit performance in some games as well.

The good news is you should be able to get good performance from a better card, that GT 220 is terrible. No 6 pin? Maybe an HD 7750 would be a good choice. In newer cards, a GT 730 DDR5.

Atleast gta 5 60fps on medium/high?

not going to be possible with your dual core and only 4gb of ram

even with 8gb of ram, and a core 2 quad you could only expect ~20 - ~40 fps

~60 fps high settings 1080p you need at least a gtx 1050 ti with a i3 8100 or newer i5 with 8gb of ram

the 750 has a better chance of working on your old setup
