Upgrading on desktop

[Car_siao]

Hi all,

I am helping my friend with this. He has a very old desktop spec as below. He want to do some budget upgrading from Sapphire HD 5770 vapor x to
Palit Geforce GTX750 Ti StormX Dual 2GB GDDR5 or
ZOTAC Geforce GTX 950 OC 2GB DDR5 . He is unsure if there will be any compatible issues or not. He only know the power supply is 500w. He hope that after installing the graphic card can play BF4.

Rig spec :
i5 - 750
500 hdd
sapphire HD 5770 vapor x.
500w power supply.

The rest he don't know.

Any pro pls kindly advice. what is the most value for money graphic card in the market now can intro also budget $200.

Thanks

Palit Geforce GTX750 Ti StormX Dual 2GB GDDR5 is a good choice. The PSU is fine as this card is not power hungry.

stretch your dollar and get the ZOTAC GTX 950 for better FPS..

Will there be any compatibles issues since it is a old desktop. Will 500w enough to power zotac 950?

In my mind i am think palit 750 and the balance cash for him to buy a zotac ssd 120 gb. Any comments?

Should be ok. No prob.

your hd 5770 need more power than gtx 950. So 500W is more than enough. The only thing i caution is, how long the PSU is used. Some bros here recommend to change if the PSU is being used for 5 yrs.

ultra quality setting..

if you are ok playing with high or mid setting, then gtx 750 should be enough

which psu is he using btw? 500w psu dosen't tell us much about the quality. for all we know it could be one of those crap vios/headway ones...
