I love my GTX 970s tbh the low power usage and thermals are great.

Don't get a 750Ti, that thing is 2 years old now get the 960 or 950 for not much more.

His PSU is likely an OEM and doesn't have 6 or 8-pin connectors. Keep that in mind.

If its a 500W it probably has enough connectors.

500W OEMs are usually 300W units which can only output 250W before overheating.

It has a 8 pin connector just checked

950 may work but anything above that would require adapters and those are a deathwish with cheaper PSUs.

None of those would work as his PSU cannot power them >.<

Before you scream "MAXWELL EFFICIENT!" let me just say his PSU has only 1 8-pin and that's not enough for 99% of 960s and 100% of 970/980s. Using adapters with cheap PSUs is a VERY bad idea

 

380 Sapphire or MSI

same reason as above why it won't work.
