card that doesn't have/need aux power connectors.

[Kledgie]

I'm looking for low wattage card recommendations that would pair well with a i5-3570k cpu.
I was thinking of pullin the trigger on a 1050. I do enjoy the occasional gaming binge. I have a 350 watt psu.

What kind of gaming binge do you enjoy?
Games like overwatch and csgo or games like Witcher 3 and fallout 4?
If the former then get GT 1030 for $70 else get 1050 for around $110.

1050 seems like the best choice, I mean its so bad at release that anything lower than that and you are going to be barely playing any new games at lowest settings.

Older games like CS:GO or games that use older textures and engine like Overwatch or LOL can be played good on pretty much any card, including the 1030 or RX 460/560.

Some 1050ti can be powered from the slot, without an extra power cable: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487290&cm_re=1050ti-_-14-487-290-_-Product

They're a decent bit faster than a "non-ti" 1050.

Buy any GTX 1050 Ti without external power connector. Some examples below.

I tend to play older games and less graphic intensive ones, so I decided to go with the 1030 -
