I just like future proofing things. More wattage - less problems in the future. 

I will not expand the PC any more in the future. I just want to make the most efficient upgrades possible. When I started upgrading, it had 2 GB of RAM, only 500 GB HDD and the system was slow, booting like 2 minutes... :D Games wouldn't even load, now they run better (World of Tanks, 20 FPS)

Guys, in the specifications of GTX 750 ti, they say I need at least 400W PSU. GTX 1050ti looks better, only needs 300W minimum... I would rather be safe and plug in the GT 1030 to the PCIE 2.0 slot. Look at the picture of the PSU, there are some rails with different amps, voltage, combined 19A.... come on, that thing will blow up xD 

a gtx 750ti only eats 75w at the most, no way you need a 400w psu for it.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/7764/the-nvidia-geforce-gtx-750-ti-and-gtx-750-review-maxwell/22 180w under a very stressful test for pc hardware and with an i7 4960x, you won't reach this amount with just a cheapo pentium.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Heatsink: Gelid Phantom Black GPU: Palit RTX 3060 Ti Dual RAM: Corsair DDR4 2x8GB 3000Mhz mobo: Asus X570-P case: Fractal Design Define C PSU: Superflower Leadex Gold 650W

The 750 Ti has a maximum theoretical usage of 146W.  And it's not going to actually use anywhere near that.  Add that to the ~60W you're currently using.

1.) Yes, that PSU can handle this system

2.) You could also use GTX 750 or 750ti, GTX 1050 or GTX 1050ti, RX 460, RX 560 (just make sure they don't require additional 6-pin power connector, some do)

3.) Your Celeron will most likely be an "issue" even for the above mentioned GPUs, despite them being quite low-end, so I would recommend going with something cheaper than GTX 1030 -> therefore used GTX 750 or 750ti could do.

So, it seems I have decided to go for the GT 1030.

Without additional power cable or anything, if I plug it in and install drivers, it should work fine, right? 

No, because it sucks ass.  It's a terrible GPU.  Just because something has a bigger number, that doesn't mean it's better.

 

Get a 750 Ti, a 1050, or a 1050 Ti.  Your PSU can run them with plenty of power to spare.

Are you sure? It's actually a PC we share at home and I don't want to ruin it. The CPU will bottleneck things anyway... also on the market there are almost only overclocked 750 ti...

Yes, I'm sure.  Many of us have told you several times.  And after-market overclocked ones aren't OC'd enough to even matter.  Save money and buy a better GPU for less money.

One more thing if anyone reads this... what the hell is  PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16  ? Is it a slot supporting both 2.0 and 3.0?

3.0/2.0 refers to the generation of the Pci-e on your motherboard. irrelevant for gaming, almost margin of error difference. they're intercompatible. the X16 refers to the lanes of the pci-e slot.

This is LGA 775 system right? I think getting This PSU can't go wrong (as a new one)

-Frequencies DON'T represent everything and in many cases that is true (referring to Individual CPU Clocks).

 

Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later

Spoiler

My head on 2019 :

Note 10, S10, Samsung becomes Apple, Zen 2, 3700X, Renegade X lol
