Question

Graphics advice required

Oct 17, 2018 10:15AM PDT

Few months back I assembled a PC with the following configuration,

i7-4790
4GB DDR3 Transcend
Gigabyte Z97X G1 gaming 3 motherboard
1TB Seagate internal HDD
450 watts SMPS Corsair VS 450
UPS APC back-UPS 800

Now I am planning to buy a 2 GB graphics card around Rs.10,000. I need advice on the best graphics available for this PC configuration (Especially on the grounds of power requirements for the card) around the mentioned budget.

2GB would not be for gaming.

Whats the decent Graphics card as per your suggestion ?

Which graphics card would you recommend if its just for a beginner/ not a hardcore gamer? My basic concern is if I go for high ended Graphics card I would have to change my SMPS and all, to meet the power requirements which in turn would cost even more.

My go to card

Is the Nvidia 1050 Ti which seems fine on almost every PSU you find in these PCs.

I'd skip the 1050 non Ti version as gamers, so far, complain to me about that model.

With that budget your looking for a gtx 1050.

If you can bump the budget a little look for a gtx 1050ti.
