Graphics card Query

[Tsukasa]

I have been looking to upgrade my pc a bit as at the moment i am using the integrated graphic of my proccessor and this is become a slight draw as i would like to not only attempt to use and program compute shaders but it is also quite limiting for the games that i can play so i have been looking into getting a gpu however i would like some advice so that i can get the right graphics card for my pc and my price range of around £400 - £500 however am thinking about maybe up to £600

specs
CPU; intel i5-4460 quad core 3.20GHz
RAM; 16GB DDR3
Graphics; intel HD Graphics 4600
power supply; fujitsu 250w
motherboard; fujitsu D3230-A13 GS 4

any help would be apreciated thank you

The CPU will massively limit any £300+ dGPU.

For £600,you could do a full system upgrade:
My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Asrock Radeon RX 6600 Dual 8GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GX-00T-AK) = £199.99
• 1 x AMD Ryzen 5 5600 Six Core 4.4GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail (SKU: CP-3D2-AM) = £139.99
• 1 x Gigabyte B550 Gaming X V2 (AMD AM4) B550 ATX Motherboard (SKU: MB-594-GI) = £116.00
• 1 x Lexar Hades RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 PC4-28800C18 3600MHz Dual/Quad Channel Kit (SKU: MY-01A-LE) = £89.98
• 1 x be quiet! System Power 9 600W 80 Plus Bronze Power Supply **OEM NO BOX** (SKU: CA-13V-BQ) = £50.00

Total: £603.95 (includes delivery: £7.99)​

But if you shop around you might be able to get an RX6650XT into the build,etc.​

Oh I didn't realise that a full rebuild would have been an option with the limited budget thank you that definitely would be something that I would look into then

If you get a new power supply, that would greatly help. A good 750 watt PSU would be needed.

Also, you are running a very old system, so modern GPU would be limited by the 4460.

I would instead invest the money in a new CPU, motherboard, RAM, and PSU.

I have no knowledge of that motherboard, but I am unsure if it even have PCI express or capability to run a modern GPU...

Yea from reading some of the other post it seems that a rebuild would be more beneficial so I'm now thinking of taking that route but I belive by mother board had a pcie slot when I had a look but I think a rebuild would be better thank you
