    Hi,
    Not sure what are your buying options but you can see if you can purchase from evga ?
    GTX 1050ti might be in your budget ?
    EVGA - Products - Graphics - GeForce 10 Series Family - GTX 1050 Ti

    Requires or recommended 300w or greater but you might be okay @ 255w

    If you need a low profile plus a little cheaper price,
    EVGA - Products - EVGA GeForce GT 1030 SC, 02G-P4-6333-KR, 2GB GDDR5, Low Profile - 02G-P4-6333-KR

    Which the spec's still say 300w so I wouldn't worry about that spec it can be stretched a tad.

    I believe you'd really need more memory 2gb's isn't much

    I'm gonna tell you this, both GTX 1050 and GT 1030 will be heavily bottle necked by your processor. Fortunately for you the motherboard supports up got Q9650.

    You can get a good deal for Q9550, go for it. If not, find a Q9300.

    From what i know the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is among the most affordable gaming graphics cards out there.

    Hi,
    The 1080.... recommends a 600w or greater psu so that is too long of a stretch :)

    EVGA is about as good as it gets for graphic cards issue might be you finding one in your region so you'd have to tell us if that is a brand you can obtain

    It does however require at least one pci-e port
    I do not believe it needs additional power but if you have an available 4 pin molex cable unused you can use it
    It will come with an adapter if it needs another power source other than what it gets from the motherboards pci-e port
    Take a picture and post it here of the mother board slots to verify.

    Hi,
    Budget pretty much rules the day :)
    I'd take the earlier post to upgrade your processor too seriously so that will cost you more obviously
    Plus I also recommended adding more memory because your existing 2gb's isn't enough either

    So with those 2 items added I'd stick to the 1030 unless you have more funds that is

    But as the image shows you clearly have a pci-e slot

    I would not get a 1030. It is about the same as integrated graphics

    The 1050 is a better GPU but what's about a 750 ?
