What the title says. I can tolerate rather old cards that still constitute a decent upgrade, such as the better 20xx series or amd equivalents and what not. I will buy the proper psu to feed it before I actually buy the card.

If you plan on using you GPU at all currently don't buy Nvidia, the drivers are a mess and they've been blackmailing reviewers.
