Is it compatible?

[the_psychic112]

Hello everyone. I need some clarification and help before going to buy a GPU.
So I have a motherboard "MSI H81-E34" , with Intel i3 - 4330 @3.5 GHz, with RAM Kingston 8Gigs DDR3.

Which GPUs is compatible withe the motherboard and overall system, "MSI RADEON RX550 AERO ITX 2G OC" or "Gainward GeForce GTX 1050" ?
Or maybe if you have a suggestion about another gpu, will be great (+ and Ebay link to the product would be very kind)!

Note : Budget Max : under $175
Edit : PSU 550Watt

Thanks.

Usually they both should work. keeping in mind that your PSU needs to have enough juice to power it. 

 

Even though there are sometimes boards that are picky. I don't have a list of those so I really can't tell. 

 

In my own experience, even my old socket 775 board could run a gf 560/760 without a problem... but boards are not boards...

Anything with a PCIe connector on it.

They will both work.

 

My opinion -> Go for a 1050 Ti if within budget. I'm not going to search for you but that's easy to look for. Any 1050 Ti would do.

Cheapest I could find (bare in mind that I'm from UK and don't really know how it works for you there)

 

https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Windforce-128-bit-Graphic-GV-N105TWF2OC-4GD/dp/B01M6Y671T/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1516097690&sr=1-1&keywords=1050+ti

 

This one if you can wait until the 24th when will be back in stock. But you could pay for it now just to be sure you get it. Cheers

The alternative is to go 2nd hand. 
An r9 380, 380x, GTX 960, maybe even a 970 would out perform a 1050 ti. and should still be in your budget

Thanks, but on Amazon, all GPUs I find, I must pay a shipping fee of $81+ , so its becomes out of budget!
I think I will go with the Gainward? What you say?

Yes but I must find a place to buy it first!
On amazon, shipping is killing me!
I reside in Mauritius, if you got any website where I can buy, would be kind of yours but thanks for your feedback!
