Cant Find a Best Graphic Card for ASUS P5G41T-MLX3 MotherBoard? PSU?

[Satish Netha]

I am Planing to Buy a New graphic card for gaming. May be i need to buy a PSU also. i am so much confused to select a graphic card that fits everything. I hope U guys suggest me a Best One for Me. Firstly, please check my System specs.

My system specs :

• MotherBoard : ASUS P5G41T-MLX3 → Check Specs (Please see this image)
• RAM : 4 GB (2+2)
• Processor : Intel Pentium Dual Core E5700 → Check Specs
• Hard Disk : SeaGate (500GB 7200rpm+ 320GB 5400rpm)
• Monitor : ACER G195D (1366x768)
• PSU : Mercury 450W (Please see this image)

My Situation :

• My Budget is Rs.12000 - 13000 (INDIAN Rupees)
• I Planned to use My graphic card for HD Gaming with Recording, Video Editing and Modeling with Simulation. So, I have a thought to buy a RX 460 card here → http://www.amazon.in/Sapphire-Radeon-NITRO-Graphics-11257-02-20G/dp/B01J1M4HDS
• Wheather using Molex Adapter (See Here) is enough to Handle these all with my Current PSU or i should definitely buy a new PSU with 6-pin connector such as Corsair VS450 → http://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B00X8QBT6M/ref=pd_cp_147_3?ie=UTF8
• Whether using a DVI - VGA adapter is safe → http://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B00TCIZ0ME/ref=pd_sim_147_3?ie=UTF8
• if I buy a new better PSU then budget for Graphic card comes down, So i am not able to decide anything.

So, Please feel free to Provide any of Your Suggestions here for me.

*Note: Length of Card doesn't matter as i can place HDD's Somewhere else.

Thank you so much.

You have 300w on the +12v rail and whilst its not the best of power supplies it should be sufficient to run your current system with a 460 in it, no issue using the molex adaptor... Now, I have said it should be fine but I am talking about the 300w your psu can supply NOT the quality of the psu, that's up to you to make that call.

that card will work. using dvi>dsub15 isn't the best method but if that's all you monitor supports. its not so much a safety issue as image quality will drop.

Depends on the monitor probably. I've never used a monitor where it made a difference.

EDIT: VGA will not work unless you use an active adapter. DVI-D doesn't do analog.

That DVI to VGA adapter won't fit on the card and it shouldn't because is a passive adapter and won't work. You need an active adapter as that GPU doesn't support an analog VGA signal.
The graphics card is good but in most cases the performance won't be good enough because of that old CPU. If don't plan to upgrade to a newer platform I would suggest buying a cheaper older GPU like R7 360 or even something cheaper. Also then you could use that cheap passive DVI adapter

What about using a HDMI to VGA converter

I decided buy a new PSU. crosair VS450

GTX 750 TI is a nice GPU if you can buy it on a low price. I hope it will not get too bottlenecked by the CPU. Definitely that Corsair is a lot better than a no name PSU. That Mercury thing probably doesn't have any protections and it is uncertain if it really can deliver what is written on the label.

Entry level 1080p DVI/HDMI monitors are cheap, so I'd absolutely recommend upgrading your monitor to something modern.
