$200 Budget GPU

[Sn1p3z]

Looking for a $200 Graphics card I can put in a old machine to make the performance better. Pentium 4 single core (lel) 1GB RAM (Wait what?) 430w thermaltake PSU.

If this is what you are wanting then upgrading the GPU will do nothing for you, this whole system needs to be scrapped I'm afraid.

IS this a 32bit or 64bit system. Most new gpu's don't have 32 bit drivers.

The Gigabyte line-up of GTX 1050s is "cheap" at the moment.

No idea, because I have never fired the thing up because I don't have any HDD that don't have 6gb's of storage (Yes you read that right)
