What gpu to pair with a i7 2600

[GGosponn]

So, my little brother doesnt have a pc and his birhday is soon so I decided to suprise him with his own pc, so I ordered a used dell optiplex with an i7 2600 and 12gb of ddr3 ram (I paid 80$ for it, was it a good deal?) And now im looking for a gpu. I found a gtx 770, 760 ti and a 760 that are all 90$ and idk what to choose, the system has some 380 "bronze rated" watt psu (its not the dell one) and Im going to buy a seasonic s12 II 620 bronze psu if needed.

Also i found some 660 ti gpus for 10$ less so idk what to choose

The 770 will out perform all the lower models from the same family. Looking not to long ago the GTX 970 was the best price performance around by me but that might be quite a bit more than these cards.

I personally run a rtx2060 with a 2600k right now sooooo yeah go with the 770

Not saying it's a good idea but more is almost always better.

You got a good deal on the PC with the i7 2600. From the cards you listed the GTX 770 is the best, if not more than $90. The others are of course weaker.

I can't tell for sure if the PSU can handle it, but you could try and gamble.

Also, if you just plan on light gaming or older games, then the GTX 660 Ti for $10 is a good deal and it can still game. Even though it just has low VRAM.

A RTX 2060 with 2600K is a good pairing. The maximum GPU a i7 2600/2600K/2700K can handle is a GTX 1080 before it will be bottlenecked by the CPU. In your case you should not upgrade the GPU until you get a new CPU. But yeah, I agree GTX 770 for the OP.

Those are pretty easy to run games and CS:GO is an esports game that works on most computers.

From the GTX 760, 760 Ti, 770 and 660 Ti I suggest you check the benchmarks for your games. They all should run it, the 770 should get the highest fps.
If you want, you can also try the $10 660 Ti first and see if the games perform how you like. If it's too weak, then you can get a more expensive one. Just a suggestion or you can directly go for the one you want best.
