i built a rig out of a 2011 Dell optiplex SFF mother board ( its a super tiny tower )

upgrades consist of...

swapping the i3 2120 dual core with an i7 2600 quad core (upgraded bios to a14, the intel swap runs perfect, if anyone knows of a better 1155 socket cpu, please lmk!)
i Swapped the stock HDD with a samsung evo 870 SSD
i installed 16Gb of Ram
i installed a Gefore 2GB 1030 GPU

the stock power supply is 300W

i would like to get a better GPU but i am unsure which to purchase

i have been looking at the Asus gefore 4gb 1050 ti on amazon for approx $180

i do not wish to swap my CPU power supply but i can disconnect the CD ROM drive to redirect power to the GPU.

any input and or advice on a better GPU thats compatible with my power supply would be awesome.

thanks a bunch!!

(the pc can currently play d2r, and apex while running youtube, however i want higher resolution while playing in game with out peaking the gpu usage)

thanks again!!

Gtx 1650, no 6 pin required and decent performance. If you want something more powerful I’d suggest upgrading entirely.

Tyvm I'm going to Google that gpu now.

And yeah, I agree hahaha this thing is ancient but it's been pretty capable so far to my surprise.

Also I just noticed the monitor I was using.... Was not a monitor but an older 19 inch flat screen tv rated at 720p (60hz peak)

Once I swapped TV's to a 4kuhd the in game resolution increased dramatically, I need a monitor no questions.

If I grab the GTX 1650 I'll let you know how it handles!thanks for the input.
