We need to know if your PC is SFF, it's PSU wattage budget and location. Otherwise no one can help

We can make some wild guesses. As one of the mods (can't remember who) says in their bio, "put as much effort into your question as you expect someone to put into their answer."

 

A Pentium and 8GB of ram, I'd say best you can do is 1050 ti. Any higher would be silly to add to it for gaming.

Also, I bet that GT 720 is even slower than the integrated graphics. You're probably upgrading just by removing that graphics card.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

I dont understand much of comps so i am asking. I would like to buy a GTX 970 and i want to know if it would fit and work without problems with that build and i wanna be sure that it wont be bottlenecked by the cpu or reverse

970 will probably bottleneck a little, but would be ok since I assume you'll upgrade CPU later. The actual problem is that there probably isn't a power connector for the 970, so a 1050 ti that requires only power from the motherboard is best.

Yeah I didn;t think about the power connector, but otherwise the 970 is a good buy. You can get them almost as cheap as a 1050 Ti new and even if it bottlenecks like crap, it'll be better
