Now i have a 256MB ATI FireMV 2250...... But now i want to play 1-2 games (ex. lol, cod4....) and i want a new one.
Gigabyte GeForce GT 730 2GB (GV-N730D5-2GI Rev 1.0) was my friend's opinion, if someone have a better idea lets tell me

I also think that the GTX 1050Ti would be your best bet. The EVGA SC model is also good in the sense that it is powered entierely from the PCIe slot so no need to worry about additional power cables etc. As was mentioned PCIe 2.0 will not hold you back, at this performance level the difference between PCIe 2.0 and 3.0 is pretty much non existant and even at the GTX 1080 level it would be c.a. 5 fps at most.
Comperable older cards are much more power hungry and are not necesserily any cheaper. I would avoid the GT 730 since its not really suitable for any proper gaming and especially the AAA titles. Yes, you would have a new card on the cheap but at the end of the day you get what you pay for and it wouldn't really give you that much of a performance boost.
