Which Graphics Card is good for my pc?

[BloodRune]

Hey, I currently have an entry-level PC with a Ryzen 5 3400g, 16GB Ram and 450 watt power supply. I want to buy a graphics card in the near future and I'm not quite sure which one fits well in my PC. Do you have any recommendations that work well with my processor and power supply?

Are you planning to play more demanding games?

 

Your integrated graphics card on your CPU is like a weaker GTX 750 ti.

 

Now I googled GTX 1660ti recomended PSU, and "minimum" for that card is 450W, but "minumum" means not every 450W PSU can be sufficiant.

 

Now the problem is very high majority of GPUs are overpriced, just so you know.

Yes, I think the main problem will be my weak power supply

I'd probably look for a gtx 1070. You'll get a nice boost in graphic without over kill to the rest of your build and the 450w psu should be fine

Hi! 

Well it defends how thick is your wallet, but keep in mind that your PSU is not very powerfull. If I got your system I would pick up 1060-6gb/ or 1070/1660.

 

Kind regards,

If you can find a good deal on it second hand, totally go for it!

Sadly the market is completely backwards at the moment, I personally find the RX 6600XT pretty good value as it's around € 650 for a decent AIB model.

NVIDIA has better drivers from my experience but any RTX card (RTX 3060 comes to mind) will easily set you back € 200 more for the same price.

Keep in mind I get those prices from the Belgian market, where you're from makes a huge difference!

 

What brand is your power supply?

Even if it's trustworthy with a proper Silver/Gold rating I'd jump to 600W or above; with cheaper/less quality units you risk triggering over-current protection with more modern GPU's as they spike quite high in power-draw.

 

 

TL;DR:

GTX1070 is a great choice if you can find it cheapily.

RX6600XT would be great "value" in the current market if you make sure to upgrade your PSU.

 

 

Hopefully this helped a little c=

What's the brand and model of your PSU?

[PDifolco]

I'd say a low range decently priced GPU, 6600xt ($600) or the all new 6500 or 3050 which should be around $400

Poor PSU for an new and expensive GPU.

Would it still be enough for a Gtx 1070?

[--SID--]

I wouldn't use it with any GPU.

Which power supply would you recommend for me if I install a Gtx 1070 in the PC and can also upgrade it over the next few years?

Depends on what's available at your location. For future upgrades I recommand a Tier A 750/850w.
