Hello, a coworker needs help figuring out how to upgrade her computer so that her son can play Fortnite.

Can someone help me find a compatible graphics card, for pretty cheap (i just need to know what model I can buy, I'll source it on my own)?
I don't care if it's a 2GB card.

It's for a 12 years old and he is going to pay for it.. so he doesn't have a lot of money.
The DQ670W is the motherboard.

Here are pictures of the setup, but I'm pretty sure it's a computer with no graphics card. Also, I'm not sure how big it is :

You might need a new psu, so before we proceed I suggest you let us know the wattage but I would suggest this moving forward.

do you think something along the line of gtx 660 or gtx 670 / 770 would work? there are a few going for pretty cheap used.

His budget is like 80-100$ CAD including shipping lol..

a 770 is very capable of playing games like fortnight, overwatch ect at 60 FPS but like Arthur said, he would probably need a PSU that can handle it an has a 60 pin power connector.



Ali Express has some 750 ti's for like 52 USD so it should be well within his price range and no need to fiddle with the psu since it does not require a 6 pin connector.

Bench marks show it at about 40-45 FPS

I really doubt his psu has 60 pins and even with a adapter
