Hey guys i want to upgrade my gpu only so just to play some games that i like

Spoiler

World Of Warplnes - Tanks - Warships, League of Legends , Need for speed Most Wanted 2012 and the Rivals, Driver San Francisco , The Crew , Cod MW2 - MW3 , GTA V , Payday 2.... and so on , as you can see not some so demanding games

not like AAA games to max graphics 😅

my pc yes its kinda old .. 🙄
Mobo: GA-G41M-ES2L | LGA775 | (rev. 1.4)

Ram: DDR2 2x2GB (the mobo has only 2 slots)

Cpu: Intel Xeon X5460 ( Yes the Bios and the socket has been moded so the cpu can work ) 

Gpu : Asus r7 250 2gb ddr3 . (yep ddr3 slow AF...)

2 HDDs  (1: 240 GB  only for windows and some lite programs  -|-  1: 500GB for music photos movies games etc.) -

1 SSD (120GB for Games)

 

I was searching some gpus your thoughts (between 100 - 180 euro max)
MSI Radeon RX 570 8GB Armor OC GDDR5   (the last 20 days it just went from 150~ € to 189€  to expensive its not worth it this much money)

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1650 4GB D6 OC   rev 2.0 or the Rev1.0 ? have the same specs (The Rev 1.0 does not need a 6 pin power) GDDR6  ~143€

You're going to have a hard time with any of those GPUs because your hardware is old and your CPU is going to bottleneck any GPU you choose.

can you find a second hand gpu? a 570 or 580 or 1060 should be around 100 euros. a 1070 or 1650 super or 1660 might be around 170 euros

most of them here in greece are selling them almost the same price as getting a new one. and e bay has some expensive shipping here in greece

i've played lots of gtaV, wot, lol, and nfs rivals on lots of cards; a laptop 1050ti, a 1060 6gb, and a 980ti 6gb that im using right now. the 980ti is capable of 100fps+ in most of those games at 1440p so for 1080p a 1060/570/580 should be more than adequate. you'll definitely want to get a whole new system though, that cpu and ram just wont cut it. whats your budget and country?

topics i need help on:

Spoiler
