Looking for a new GPU for my crappy prebuilt pc. Its only going to be in this pc temporary until I gather the funds to build a whole new pc, then it'll be transferred to the new PC. Here is some stuff about my rubbish pc. It also has a 500W power pack. Was considering a GTX 1050ti, seen a couple on amazon floating around for 150 ish mark but wanted to know what else would be a good choice. ALSO THE GPU HAS TO BE PRETTY SMALL AS ITS A SMALL PC CASE. Thanks for any help.

1050Ti is your only option really. Anything more powerful isn't going to work(most likely) since I'm 99% sure that PSU is a PoS. Next best GPU after the 1050Ti is an RX 470/570 anyway and those are well over your budget.

**EDIT**
Actually, I just checked and it looks like you have an 80+Gold proprietary PSU from FSP, so it's actually pretty great in terms of pre-builts. So, PSU is solid for now, I'd replace that shitty case before the PSU. Also, FYI, your CPU is still more than adequate so there's no need for a "a whole new pc". You can add a 1050Ti now, and upgrade a few other parts when you have the money.

You should definitely add an SSD and upgrade the case as soon as you can. Other than that, all you really need to do is get a better monitor.
