What gpu to match

[FakeFBI]

If you've been following with my posts i found my old prebuilt and is planning on upgrading the psu and gpu, the psu that it already has is normal connectors

model of pc: hp pavilion p7-1067c

current psu: some hp garbage that is 250w

gpu in it: pny gt 630 poor thing still runs as brand new and have never ran over 70c on it

mobo is in the model, it has 2 ram slots that are already ram maxed, have a 500gb 3gb/s seagate hdd i forgot where the box is

cpu: i7-2600s, if i get psu would i be able to get a 2600 or 2600k ???????

sorry if the post looks messy asf it is

thx in advance

Alright, so right now is a terrible time for a GPU, but are you looking for a lower tier card, or mid tier?

1. for 2600/2600k and any decent gpu power supply upgrade to 400-500w is a given

2. any 2nd gen i5 will only be 10-20% faster, not worth it
3. Would get a 1050ti/maybe 1060 but thats pushing it

4. Don’t expect to run cyberpunk

But do it anyway for the memes 

 

I wouldn't go higher than a 1060 either.

For used, if you wanna go under budget, you can go for an RX 570, they are in the 200$-300$ range, and are a decent card.

to like answer all, the legacy bios does not support 10 series even with update, the 2600k is a i7

what psu should i get as well, anything bronze and up is fine with 400w minimum, 

im planning on getting some 4gb card, i don't plan running anything too powerful, like maybe some cs:go fortnite, and also my little brother plays roblox on it, the gt 630 can give trouble sometimes, any 4gb cars should tackle the problem

If it doesn't support 10 series, then you might want a gtx 970 (which might be overkill) or an rx 560 if it is compatible
