Hey bro ... you can use this to search for a compatible GPU which would not bottleneck your CPU ... https://pc-builds.com/calculator/

Currently, matched your CPU with my GTX 760 which I'm looking to sell ... but even then, it's at a 12% CPU bottleneck ... (anything above 10% is a bottleneck)

So might want to look into replacing the CPU to a better one in future to match your new graphic card.

If your PSU is of low quality, then look for a GTX1650/1050 Ti/1050 (make sure you get one without the PCIe power connector) from Garage Sales icon_idea.gif

i dont think your psu got 8pin head to power up graphic card.
it is safe to get nvidia graphic card with GT x30 or GT x40 version, direct power from mobo.
