Hello everyone,
I have an Intel i3 3.10 Processor
Intel 61 mother board
500GB hard drive
Kingston 2gb DDR3 Ram
LG 20" LED
No idea about the PSU but I guess it is 450 watts.

I want to install a graphic card in my computer, I need a suggestion if GTX 650Ti would be compatible with my specifications, and what all other graphic cards I can go for other than GTX650.

The purpose of installing a graphic card is playing games like COD, Battlefield, or CS GO etc.

Suggest me about the best graphic card compatible with my specs and also if I should increase the RAM too to get better performance.

P.S - My budget is limited.
Thank you.

A GTX 750 Ti would be ideal for your system. Solid performance that doesn't need a six pin connector in many cases (about half use one, half don't). Very power efficient and still capable of good 1080p gaming (and you don't need to change a bit of your hardware for one). They can be had for $130 - $150. If you can't swing that a GTX 750 is about as fast as the previous generation GTX 650 Ti (maybe even a hair faster) and go for $110 to $120.

yes 750 will do the job. it can run most games at medium setting and doesnot need much power but u dont hve great pc specs so 650 will also do the jobs

Iwuold suggest You ti go with msi nvidia geforce gtx 750ti twin frozer(TF).

What is your current psu ? If 450 watt or more then there will be no problem. If not go for this :

or if u dont have any problem regarding money then this:

the second psu is 80+ gold edition so it is more energy efficient then other one.

Choice is yours and keep this 750 ti gpu

Actually a Gtx 650 ti and 750 is same in performance as you said that you have a 20” Led resolution might be 1600x1900 or 1920x1024. So a gtx 650ti or a gtx 750ti can't do wonders on that resolutions so if you want to play BF4 and other High end games on high or ultra settings you will get 20-25fps. So ideal settings are medium.and your rig is not so good to play games on ultra settings i reccomend you to play in med-low settings and i can't guarantee you that u can play without lags because of your rig.and gtx 650 to and gtx 750 are low-mid end card those are ideal for 1366x768 resolution

So you are telling me that if I get a monitor or my resolution to 1366 x768, then I can play to Ultra high settings???
And what if I want to play on High settings not ultra high, with good fps and less lag,?
What do I require in order to play on just high settings?
September 10, 2014 7:53:44 PM

Yup‚if you can get a 1366x768 monitor u can play on high setting with some twerkings like low AA and AO on 30-40fps.but if you cant get a 1366x768 monito‚ upgrade your ram to atleast 6gb and you can play games on high settings with some other twerkings hope I helped :)

Okay, I have got some negative reviews about GTX 750, plus the card looks very small and not many reviews about it either.
Again my question is, if GTX 650 ti would be worth it, right now I am only planning to play Call of Duty,
My monitor resolution is 1600 x 900, but then I do not want it to be a limited use investment, my budget is strict, I am buying a PSU corsair 500 Watts and I want a GFX for not more than 180. i.e Indian Rupees 10,000 almost

Please suggest the best and also I wanna know if I can install a DDR 5 graphic card in my system.

What if I install GTX 650 ti with the local brand PSU I already have i.e 450 watts, would it still work?
Or do I get some chances of damaging my Graphic card?
Is GTX 650 ti gonna perform well with the specifications I have?

Last question, there are some reviews that GTX 660 is much better than GTX 750 Ti, the only con about GTX 660 is, it takes 140 watts of Power consumption.
The price is almost same for the both
So should I not consider GTX 660 instead of GTX 750 ti

You dont have that good processor and ram which could bottleneck 660 graphics card. 660 is 256 bit but 750 and 650 is 128 bit. If you spend your money on 660 it would be a total waste as your current config will not help 660 to outshine so 750 ti will be enough for you.

660 gpu is generally for mid range gaming but your system configuration is for entry or low level gaming so stick to 750ti as it is just good for your system or if you want to save some money for future upgrade go with 650 ti as their is approx 2.5% difference in both gpu performance. I will suggest 750 ti as it is still better than 650 ti

Here,
650 ti :-

750 ti:-

I will say 750 ti

Good luck
