GPU Compatability

[g4m3cr34tor]

Hi all,

 

I'm currently running a Dell Vostro 260s Slim Tower (https://www.dell.com/en-au/work/shop/business-pcs-desktop-computers/vostro-260s-slim-tower-desktop/spd/vostro-260s)

Specs: i5-2400, 4gb ram (2x2gb), radeon hd 6450, 250w psu

 

My trusty hd6450 recently died, and I'm looking to replace it with another card. Could you recommend a GPU I could buy for max ~AUD$100 (can be new or used)?

Note that the card must supply its power exclusively from the mobo as there are no spare psu connectors.for pcie. Also, I'm uncertain regarding what this mobo can handle, or whether I will need to tinker with the bios, so advice would be appreciated here as well.

 

I will also be upgrading the ram to a 2x4gb (plain ddr3 1600) kit. 

 

For background, I don't really use heavy applications or play demanding games, so I am expecting this to last another 2-3 years.

a gt 1030 will work , there maybe be cheaper cards that also work but i'd say the 1030 might still have drivers being made for it 3 years from now
