I was looking to purchase a new GPU for my Hp Compaq 8200 Elite SFF with a budget of £70 and I was wondering if the Gt 1030 Low Profile GPU will be a good purchase to partner with my i5-2400?
I want to run Roblox, Fortnite and Valorant at 175fps minimum, so would that do the job by purchasing a new gpu for £70? (currently the pc specs I have stuggle to get 100fps)
Or could I purchase a better gpu that would perform better?
Thanks!

Looks like folks are getting an average of 50.7 FPS with an i5-2400 processor.

This would be a better performing card, but I don't think you can get one for 70 pounds.

It should fit.
The closest I can compare it to your PC's processor is this result.
Doesn't look very promising...but not a large population of results.

I would search the internet for some YouTube video card reviews.
This one for example was installed on a much newer PC than yours, so it may be comparing apples to oranges.

I mean i am currently using a Radeon Hd 8350 GPU right now, and want to upgrade to a better graphics card. Would the GT 1030 run Roblox, Valorant and Fortnite at 150 fps+? Also how much times better is the Gt 1030 than the Hd 8350?

Sorry, but I have given you all the info I can.
Either of those cards would be considerably better than the HD 8350.
Another drawback of your PC is that the PCIe x16 slot is only Gen 2 0, so either card which are both PCIe 3.0 will not perform at their maximum speed from a Gen 2.0 slot.

Last question, would this fit in my Hp Compaq 8200 Elite SFF PC?
AMD Radeon RX550X GDDR5 4GB FH Video Card - HP L39867-002
Would it perform better than the GT 1030 or will it perform worse?
I was thinking about purchasing this over the GT 1030.
