The best graphics card for 250W
flo88 Posted messages 28492 Registration date Status Contributor Last intervention -
Hello,
I would like to know what the best graphics card compatible with my setup is and with my 250W power supply that I do not want to change even though I know it's low. My setup:
A 250W power supply, Intel Core i5 6500, 8GB of DDR4 RAM (planning to add +8GB for a total of 16GB later), a 1TB HDD (planning to add an M.2 SSD later).
Thank you in advance.

Hello
What is your budget?
Is your PC case ATX standard? This is to know the potentially available space for a graphics card.

hi N2sm
with everything you’re planning, get yourself a 500 Watts power supply
so you don’t worsen your issues
Aerocool Lux 550W - 550W 80+ Bronze Certified = €44.99 = https://www.topachat.com/pages/detail2_cat_est_micro_puis_rubrique_est_w_ali_puis_ref_est_in20000259.html

You say you have a 250 Watts power supply => brand and model???
And for your case => brand and model???
You don't have a motherboard???
Asus - Prime B365M-K = €116.20 = https://www.rueducommerce.fr/p-prime-b365m-k-asus-3168358-18319.html
Your processor, where do you buy it??? second-hand = https://www.google.com/search?q=Intel+Core+i5+6500&client=firefox-b-d&source=lnms&tbm=shop&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjCqMvXtq3_AhVrUqQEHTAqCkMQ_AUoAXoECAIQAw&biw=1083&bih=653&dpr=1.4

As I continue my research, I realize that the components you've listed are problematic

Hi
To avoid bothering you, just take the best one you find without any additional power supply; it shouldn't exceed 75W. And the simplified method of CCM is CPU consumption + (GPU consumption x 2) = 215W
You keep a personal choice freedom for your graphics card, and it should work.
