Hi.

I need help in deciding a GPU for the following system:

Pentium G3258 (not overclocked)

8gb ddr3 1333mhz

430w PSU

 

I was thinking of a 1050 (GV-N1050D5-2GD to be specific). 

Is this good enough or we can do something better in this build?

The system will be used for Dota 2, CSGO, etc.

 

Thanks

It's a friend's system, not my own. And i don't think he is gonna overclock.

 

We have to choose a card for this without modifying the system in any way.

Does the power supply have any extra 6-pin power connectors? If it does, you could go for a low-end 1060

Yeah it does. But don't you think a 1060 would be an overkill for the games i mentioned? And it would be seriously bottlenecked by the G3258.
