Trying to revive old PC

[Bodix]

Hi guys, I'm new here,

I'm trying to revive my old PC for my little kid to destroy xD

It's an I7-870 CPU

8GB Ram

Gigabyte P55 MB

I'm just short of GPU and Power Supply

I want to find some good second-hand GPU to let my little kid explore the beauty of PC gaming...

I would like to get some recommendations from the community for cheap and reliable GPU the will not be bottlenecked by the CPU

whats your budget for a gpu and psu combo? PSU should be new as its really not recommended to go with a used psu (not the worst, but might have broken capacitors sometimes)

the best gpu i can recommend for this system is something like the gtx 1060 or rx 480. Choose either one of these and what country are you in?

looks good but gonna be hard to find this in my country

it's much easier to find Seasonic/Corsair/Asus around here...

So for you I would say a cx650m would be good for you

Including the price of the psu you would have about 200 bucks left give or take. You could get the best gpu for 200 bucks but it would be bottlenecks by your cpu. If you want to do that then get this 1080 ti https://www.ebay.com/itm/204298164417?epid=5032174213&hash=item2f911e98c1:g:ok4AAOSw0l5kMJYj&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAwKITOGDUREoXVujMmfZQjTWdMmZWndElS5Ej1NUewEibHbsNue9xpGtjwNNmHpwPMuRviQLsDyi34oQzk1NM95rjCTdMEv1Gwt5pvYgHLcLMTh8WH5UZpVtne75u1oWXMcFjDjhIfOciZYIE%2BWXP8gBQoMaz%2Fxb%2FXPUurWNK0T4J8ztaH0q54rqLV%2B6PucRgZEUw8JTsi%2B3XiVvipG22G37UJ%2F5SA7exmn6AwGgvf3A2MFgQym5PQUFerDU1VgULdg%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR9Tj-Y3sYQ

but for something a bit more realistic and wouldn’t bottleneck your cpu go for the rx 580
