Hi friends,
I am building a backup PC. It's regular use will be for general web surfing, working with Windows Office programs, listening to music and watching Youtube video. I have a similar build that I use exclusively for online Zoom classes for teaching yoga. For the online instruction I use a Sony A5100 Mirrorless camera at HD 1080 connected to the PC via ElGato Cam Link 4k.
I live in Thailand and am buying parts here.
These I are the components I already have for the backup build:
AsRock B450 Gaming ITX AC
AMD Ryzen 5 3500 3.6GHz
Corsair DDR4 2x8 GB 2400
Corsair SF450 SFX PSU
Cooler Master Elite 130 Mini ITX case
Western Digital Black NVMe SSD 250GB
I am using Windows 10.
The current PC I am using for my online classes has the same components plus a:
Gigabyte RX5500 XT OC 4GB video card that when purchased a year ago cost about US$ 188. If I can find a similar card here now it will run about $900.
I need a to get a VGA card for the backup build and can't afford to spend so much.
What level of card do you think I can get by with?
Here are a few cards available here at an affordable price for me:
Gigabyte GT 710 2GB DDR3 64 Bit $64
MSI GT730 N730K-2GD3H/LP 2GB DDR3 (fanless) $97
Gigabyte GT 1030 2GB DDR4 64 Bit $110
GIGABYTE GTX1050 Ti G1 Gaming 4GB RGB D5 $225
Here are links to two local online sellers. You can view in English as well as Thai. Prices listed are in Thai Baht. Exchange rate is about 1US$ to 31 Thai Baht.

Any thoughts or recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
I'm really not sure what video card I need for good performance for my application.
Thank you,
