My younger brother has integrated graphics and has been dying to upgrade--
I've been offered some good deals on decent cards but declined as GPU power consumption has become an issue.
He has a pcie slot
and a 450W PSU w/o pcie connecters
he has a budget of about 60$
i am looking for new or used parts at a budget of about 60$
i was looking into the 5550 but am open to suggestions.
I am not looking for a high end GPU but on that'll play most games on at least 'low' setting w/o any lag.
criteria:
low power consumption (especially at idle)
does not require pci-e connectors
fits budget
please also state price for used/new
thanks !!
EDIT: added PSU img
