Hey everyone, thanks for clicking

 

im looking at upgrading my failing GPU

(660ti, it’s old and served me very well)

 

there’s a couple GPUs up in my local area to pick up second hand. 
 

current pc specs 

i5 3570k

asrock extreme4 mobo

450w Corsair PSU

660ti

16gb generic RAM

 

the options I have on hold are

 

EVGA GTX 950 - 40$ CAD

Zotac GeForce GTX 1650 - 100$ CAD

 

mostly play MOBA games and some older AAA titles, light content creation aswell

 

What would be my best option at this point

The 950 is way better value, even though that's a pretty good price on the 1650, all things considered.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

It’s pending sale; I’m next in line for the 950. 
 

the 1650 new is around 250

 

@TofuHaroto they never seem to come up in my area, and when they do a 580 used is at approx 200$~ CAD

Then go with the 950 

It'll be more than enough.

There’s actually an Asus strix rx 570

up for 125$, I might be able to get him down to 100

If you want go for it. 

950 is still a good deal.

Would it be better than getting the 1650?

 

also the 450w is enough juice for the 570?

Wattage wise it is

Depends on what Corsair PSU.

They're close to each other but a 570 is somewhat faster and has a bigger frame buffer ( assuming it's the 8 gig model )

Probably best to see if I can get the 950 then, I don’t need a sizeable upgrade tbh the 660ti does like 150+ frames on league w/ all high settings 

 

I greatly appreciate your help though ❤️

My PSU is a cx450m,

450w semi modular. 
 

the guy has told me he’ll drop price from 125$ down to 110$...

 

It’s the 4GB card, though.

Then if the 950 suits your needs

Go for that.
