Hey there,

I was hoping I could get some thoughts on the EVGA MSI Gaming X GTX 1050 4GB.

Also, I'm curious if there’s actually a massive difference when you compare a 2GB model against this one, or if you go with a version that has a single fan instead of the dual setup.

If anyone has suggestions for something else, please let me know! It doesn't have to be an EVGA card—though I've used them before and honestly, they've always treated me well. I'm looking to spend roughly $333, just enough to run stuff like FIFA without everything turning into a slideshow.

My current specs:

- Phenom II x4 965 Black Edition
- ASRock 970 Pro3
- ATI Radeon HD 5830
- Kingston HyperX Fury DDR3 4x4 GB 1866 MHz
- WD Blue 1TB HDD
- Arctic Cooler Freezer 13

Thanks!

Hey everyone, looks like my graphics card finally kicked the bucket on me, and now I’m stuck staring at a blank screen needing a replacement. Since my budget is pretty tight right now, I can't exactly go out and drop a fortune on a shiny new card from a big-box retailer—I'm definitely looking for something used if possible. My old setup was running an NVIDIA GeForce GTX series with 1GB of DDR5. What kind of used card would you guys suggest that could match what I had, or maybe even give me a little bump in performance, without breaking the bank? I'm hoping to stay under $400--$167, though honestly, the lower I can keep it, the better. For context, here is what I'm working with:
-NVIDIA GeForce GTX series 1GB DDR5
-Intel Core i7 series, 8.0 total Cache, LGA 1366
-Asrock 870 EXTREME3 motherboard
-Corsair CX 600 power supply
-WD 1TB SATA3 EALX, 32 MB total Cache
-DDR3 4GB (2x2) Corsair 1333MHz

Thanks!

Hey there,

I was wondering if anyone could give me a ballpark idea of what I could get for my current PC build:

-XFX ATI RADEON HD5830 1GB DDR5
-AMD Phenom ii x4 955 Black edition 3,2 GHz, 8.0 total Cache, Socket AM3
-Asrock 870 EXTREME3 AMD 870
-Corsair CX 600 power supply
-WD 1Tb SATA3 EALX, 32 MB Cache
-DDR3 4Gb( 2x2) Corsair 1333MHz
-Black DVDRW drive, which would be worth about $150 if it were new$67

This whole setup is exactly two and a half years old now, though the power supply is only six months old since I swapped it out for a new one recently.
