I just got a pc mainly to record xbox gameplay but i really want to get into pc gaming and now i'm looking for a Budget low profile graphics card, I have a SFF case so it needs to be low profile.
This is the link to the pc i got.


These are my specs
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz
Video Card: Intel(R) Q45/Q43 Express Chipset (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1)
RAM: 8.0 GB
Operating System Microsoft Windows 10 (build 14393), 64-bit

 

I want something that i can play CS:GO and maybe some other low graphic games.
This is one i saw that looked good, but i am not sure how to tell if it's good enough for cs:go or if it and my motherboard are compatible. 
I have a graphics card that my dad got like 5 years ago by accident, he said he used it for a few hours then used his old one. This is that card. I know it isn't good but i don't know if it is better than integrated graphics or not.

as best bang for buck, definitely go with an RX 460,470,or 480. but i don't know your price range.

Do you need to buy new? Or would you be willing to buy a used one? That may be your best bet at the $50 price range.

Low profile is something AMD doesn't do. Bug off.

This is a good one https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/GeForce-GTX-1050-Ti-4GT-LP.html#hero-overview

$50 budget matey

 

I'd say maybe a used GTX 750Ti LP, they're quite common. Check local Craiglist and eBay auctions.

This is probably your best bet if you don't want to go used. It's slow, and has only 1GB DDR5, but it's probably the best for under $50

idk

You might want to check out the Subreddit /hardwareswap you can find some good deals/ good sellers there. I recently sold my 680 for about $70. Old tech but performed on par with a 1050TI.

Don't get either of those they are terrible and a waste of money. The lowest I would go is the RX 460 2GB, GTX 1050 2GB or GTX 1050Ti 4GB.
