Looking to replace a Quadro 600 with a better gaming gpu

[hummus]

Hey everyone,


I recently picked up a Dell Precision T1600 from a friend who no longer needed it. Here's the current setup:

• CPU: Xeon E3-1225
• GPU: Quadro 600
• RAM: 3x4GB DDR3 1333MHz
• Storage: 500GB SATA 3.5"
• Case Dimensions: 14.17" x 6.89" x 16.99" (360mm x 175mm x 431.5mm)
• Drive Bays: Two internal 3.5" bays (can fit two 3.5" or four 2.5"), two external 5.25" bays (for optical/media card reader)
• Expansion Slots: 1x PCIe x16 Gen 2, 1x PCIe x16 Gen 2 (wired x4), 1x PCIe x1, 1x PCI – all full-length/full-height
• PSU: 265W (65% efficient, PFC)

I'm planning to swap out the Quadro 600 for a more gaming-capable GPU and upgrade the PSU accordingly.
The goal is to run Forza Horizon 4 and heavily modded Minecraft at 1080p.

I will be purchasing the parts from amazon.ae and hope to spend at least 600 AED in total.

Any GPU and PSU combo recommendations that won’t bottleneck the system too hard?
Appreciate any tips or ideas!

I think you should get gpu from used market because for 600 AED you can get either rx 580 from China or 1050ti ripoff
I suggest to get MSI MAG A650BN 650w from amazon for 200 AED and find used gpu for 400 AED

An used RX 5600 XT could be also worth of considering. Fits in your budget as I checked what's that in Euros.

edit: Ah, also for that PSU upgrade, well, you could get both with some luck.

Be very careful with the used market. Fakes and counterfeit cards abound.

Good point. I'd go for a reputable good seller from ebay myself.
