Recommended GPU

[killbots2012]

Hi, I'm debating on what GPU to put in my system at an affordable price, I'd say no more then $150 Canadian Currently I'm just using the on board graphics on a i5 4570 with 8 GB DDR3. It's also a small form [short case] so power would have to be delivered from the PCI. I'm thinking the lines of 1060 ti or something similar. 

 

I am fine with 30 FPS at 1080P

Small and pcie powered only?

 1050ti or RX 560

those are the only two realistic options

 

MSI makes the RX 560 aero itx which is sub 170mm meant for itx cases.

Yeah, I've probably have around 5-6 inches of clearance and my PSU doesn't have much to power much more then drives sadly. I've checked both of those the RX 560 seems reasonable. Joys of working with older hardware and small cases lol

If you can't run it off external power, GT 1030?

I'm pretty sure the highest you will get within that price range which doesn't need external powering is the GTX 1050TI, and it is a pretty good card. It will handle most games at Medium-High 60FPS 1080P depending on the CPU your pairing with it.

probably a 1050 ti, might as well look for used.

Thanks guys @BiggestStalin It's being paired with an older i5 4570 Think it's a 4th gen that surprisingly handles my Mnecraft servers on a separate machine fairly well and it handles the client side at an average of 60 FPS. Just the odd time I go to play GTA 5 with on board graphics struggles .I've found a 1050 mini on newegg for 150 CAD I think first I should upgrade the PSU so I don't have to rely on PCI power would be the best option, just maybe/
