Graphics card upgrade

[Jeremy302]

hello. I want to upgrade my old GPU to a newer one as my current one is a Nvidia Quadro FX1800 it is plugged into a PCIe2 x16 75w. the new graphics card i would prefer would be a Nvidia card i am thinking and 950 or 960 i am wondering what kind of card would be the best for budget to performance, my budget would be under $200. Another thing i would be wondering is with the psu it is a stock psu with a max output of 1000w would I be able to take any 6 or 8 pin connector and plug it in to the gpu? I can provide more questions about my rig if needed thanks!

What's the rest of your system specs?

I would go for something like a GTX 1060 3gb which is exactly $200

You don't need 1000w on a computer, your best bet is to wait for a gtx 1050 (if you really need a nvidia over an AMD card, and your upgrades depend entirely on what you'd like to be doing. You need to have that planned out before you buy anything.

Yup. Should still perform better than any GTX 1050.

I will try to answer this to the best of my abilities sorry if I get any of this wrong. It is a dell precision t7500 with 2 Intel Xeon e5502 at 1.87GHz with 4 1 GB sticks of ram with the stock 1000w psu, it is running windows 10. I hope this helped, and if I were to get a GPU needing a 6pin connector would i just be able to take any 6pin connector and plug it in?
