Hi. I have a Dell Optiplex 380 and I'm trying to make it a small gaming computer that is just temporary until this summer for Minecraft and other small games. I have a 255w power supply and I just bought a lga775 core 2 duo 3.0ghz CPU and it has 4 GB Kingston ram now. All I need is a small low profile card just to make this a temporary Minecraft computer for mods like technic launcher and ftb. I have 115$ I can spend on a card. Any help is appreciated. Thank you. I'll leave a pic of the computer.

Okay, so a few recommendations here. Either an EVGA GT640, Palit GTX 1050, or a GTX 750 Ti. I personally had the 640 for several years. THE upside to that is that you can also upgrade the rest of the PC if you skimp a little bit on the GPU. Which my 640 ran GTA 5 at 720p, medium graphics. So you should run MC fine. But with mods, you'll want a RAM upgrade.

CPU: Intel Core i5 2400 GPU: MSi GTX 1050 Ti 4GT OC RAM: 14GB DDR3 (3x2GB, 1x8GB) Mobo: Acer MB.GAU07.001 Case: Gateway DX4860 PSU: EVGA 600W Bronze Plus
