The SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon RX 580 4GB GDDR5 is a much more powerful card.

 

So much so, that it would not work in your PC for two reasons:  It requires a 450W power supply and your PC's P/S is only 240W and it also needs an additional 1 x 8 Pin auxiliary power connector which your PC's power supply does not have.

 

Regarding the AMD Radeon RX550X GDDR5 in your other screenshot, the mounting bracket is wrong.  You need a card like that, but it needs the low-profile silver mounting bracket used in SFF PC's.

 

I don't see any of those for sale on eBay.UK but here is a listing on the eBay US site which shows an RX550 LP card with the correct low profile mounting bracket you need.

I couldn't tell you if it would perform better, worse or the same as the GT1030.

 

You can do this research on your own...Google is your friend.

I have a problem. The RX 550 uses a HDMI port and my monitor uses VGA. How will I connect my monitor to the RX 550?

HP Recommended

Does your monitor also have a DVI port?

 

If so, you can use a HDMI to DVI cable.

 

If the monitor only as a VGA port, then I recommend you just leave things as they are.

 

I haven't found anyone yet who has used a VGA to HDMI cable and have it worked.

 

That is because VGA is analog video and DVI/HDMI are digital video.

HP Recommended

Yes my monitor has a DVI port. What shall I do? Do i need to buy a DVI to HDMI adaptor?

HP Recommended

Good, then you are in luck.

 

You can buy a video cable like this:  This is a 6-foot length.

Your video quality should be a little better too, now having digital video instead of the old-fashioned analog video.
