So Pcie 2.0 x16 has enough bandwidth to take full advantage of GDDR6 ?, but I guess I'll pull the trigger with the 1650 super then, Thanks.

yes, my PSU has the 6+2 power connector, I checked before looking for GPU's

I want to upgrade my gpu (currently I have a GT-710), mostly for gaming at high(ish) settings 1080p /60 fps. I have an Intel core i5 4460, a Gigabyte GA- H81M -H (Pci e 2.0 x16), 8 gb ddr3 ram(2x4gb), and a EVGA BT 450W (link to build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XN6mNq ) -QUESTION: which GPU should I buy? I've been searching for prices and compatibilties (looking for something around 200-250 usd), and my 3 options are the following: (I'm from colombia , GPU prices are a little crazy here, I converted prices to USD (1 usd=3400 cop)) 1. Evga 1650 Super SC 4gb (210 usd) Based on EVGA's page, this card should work with my Mobo, but i don't know if I'm wasting DDR6 memory speed by using the card in a PCI e 2.0 slot instead of a Pci e 3.0 one. tarjeta-de-video-evga-1650-super-sc-ultra-gaming-4gb-D_NQ_NP_842829-MCO40193058929_122019-O.webp 2. RX 570 (4gb or 8gb) (191usd-232usd) I'm not sure if i need the extra 4gb for 20usd more, and if it's noticeable in performance at 1080, Also I've heard these cards run quite hot and are noisy, I'm ok with fan noise but the temp scares me a little. video-msi-radeon-rx-570-armor-mk2-8gb-oc-gddr5-1281mhz-D_NQ_NP_681131-MCO40635016653_022020-F.webptarjeta-de-video-amd-sapphire-pulse-rx-570-4gb-D_NQ_NP_623174-MCO40292870328_122019-O.webp 3.RX 580 8GB (235 usd) AMD recommends a 500W psu for this ( I have a 450 one), and 185W seems a lot compared to the 120W of the other options, also can this gpu be bottlenecked by my i5 4460 ? tarjeta-de-video-asus-rog-strix-rx-580-gaming-8gb-oc-D_NQ_NP_870830-MCO40193163963_122019-O.webp -I also looked for 1060 6gb and 1660 but prices are trough the roof (+500 usd), I couldnt figure out why, but they are too expensive. Thanks in advance for the help and advices.

ok, I see, I'll do the upgrade, I'll try to get the Corsair, if not I think I'll get the B1 450 instead. Again thank you so much for the help, and solving my questions. much appreciated.

I like the corsair and I could get the extra money, now two things, first: Is it worth the upgrade between the ones I asked in the post and the corsair/ B1 450 ?, in terms of perfomance/ reliability (I mean, I don't have high end parts but I do use my pc around 5-7 hours per day aprox) Second, in terms of noise, can you tell the difference between the corsair and the B1 450 ?, where can I see how many dB each one makes under load ? Thank you so much for the help, kind of new in this.

I used a power caculator and I got 277 W ( I also have a disc reader and another fan)

I checked before posting, I didn't found the Thermaltake one, and the EVGA was basically in th trash category but I still have the doubt.

As I said I'm from Colombia, there aren't many options here, so mostly the ones in this website ( Is like Ebay from Latam) https://www.mercadolibre.com.co/ , most of the posts are only in spanish and prices are in COP ( 1 USD = 3000 COP). Thank you for your help !

Sure

what PSU would you recommend in that price and power range (40-50 usd/400W) ??

The thing is that I need to change it, the one I have right now doesn't even have a brand,Makes a lot of nice and lately heats up more than I like. With the EVGA or the Thermaltake, I would get silent fans and would solve the heating problem.

mmm ok, besides that, which one is better ?

Hi, first post, I bought my PC from a retailer almost 4 years ago (quite old), and now I'm planning to change my PSU, because the fan is starting to make a lot of noise (More than usual),is a generic chinese PSU (Kind of trash, I really need to change it). My budget is something along 40- 50 Usd and my build needs 300W. I looked for a PSU suitable for this budget, and now I have a doubt between a Thermaltake smart 430w 80plus White or an EVGA 400 W. I have read some reviews and these two doesn't seem to be the greatest PSU's, but for the options I've seen in the stores that fit my budget are "good" (I'm from Colombia and here tech things tend to be more expensive and some brands like coolermaster or seasonic are very very hard to get.) Also my build Is an Intel i5 446, nvidia geforce gt710, 8 gb ram ddr3, HDD 7200 rpm. TL DR: I need a good and cheap 400 W PSU, what should I buy between a Thermaltake smart 430w 80plus White or an EVGA 400 W. ??
