Honestly just save like $300 and get a PC with a GTX 1050

[LienusLateTips]

maybe a 5450 or 3470

 

IMO just save up for a new system, not worth upgrading this one.

Any recommendation for a build under $300 that features the 1050?

Will a 750ti work out

though?

1050 is better, and $300 isn't really a realistic number for 1050 IMO. I'll go make one for $400

I meant "Will a used 750ti work out with the athlon ii x2 250?"

Yes will severe bottlenecking probably

 

It's really not worth it IMO

Under $300 I would just suggest buying a used 750ti or something.

ur motherboard is socket AM3, u could upgrade ur cpu to an used 1090t for example ( check ur motherboard for cpu support ) and then get a 1050gtx together with it,m that should do the job

[gabiz4lyf]

The 1090t just costs $60 in my place and i just saw a 1050 for about $80 dollars. I guess this $140 combo is for me

Yeah the 1090T is a good option, 6 cores, meh IPC

 

 

Get a 1050 and a 1090T and maybe some RAM and you are set
