Gaming on a 6 year old PC! - i5-3450 + GTX 1070 + 600W PSU - Upgrade Guide

[@TechDeals]

*UPDATE* - Minor correction... I call this machine a i5-2400, which is what I thought I took off the shelf. Turns out this is a i5-3450. No real difference in terms of the PC, other than 1 gen newer and about 8% faster in performance than the i5-2400. i5-3450 - ebay.to/2mDkfTq i5-3470 - ebay.to/2nysNA2 i5-2400 - ebay.to/2mDktde i5-2500 - ebay.to/2mUxcdv *NOTE* - I will be comparing this in a future video soon to the i3-8100, Ryzen 3 1200, and the old, but new again Athlon X4 950. Be sure to watch for that video! *NOTE 2* - This is the first video I've recorded with my new overhead microphone, notice I don't have a mic on my shirt for the first time. The audio isn't great, still working on how to set that up perfectly, but hopefully this isn't too bad. :) If you'd like to skip directly to the upgrade guild itself, click here: 5:29

[@ExZ1te]

Tech Deals why didnt you went with gtx 1080?

[@TechDeals]

I don't have one that will fit, that is overkill, and that isn't what is being tested in the R3 1200 and i3-8100

[@cybercat1531]

I liked the audio on this. It simply sounded 'natural-ish'. I dont have a word for it. The overhead scene simply felt like I was standing in a open room with you. Great for a sub-optimal setup!

[@TechDeals]

DDR3-1600 is what is installed in this, but it hardly matters... 1333 is also fine...

[@mihael9245]

i was wondering if you had any coil whine with that gpu (i have the same and i got the coil whine...)

[@alexanderarias8519]

Your honesty to the consumers is something amazing! Great work and thank you for the quality content!

[@marcalbert674]

True, I wish more people/companies/sellers/you name it were like that.

[@GregoryCunningham]

I agree, most tech reviewers have basically become glorified publicists.

[@christwoodyhussar6336]

Yep he's the only one I've seen that doesn't tell you to buy the latest 500 dollar I7.

[@marcalbert674]

Chris twoodyhussar, don't know what Intel has been smoking lately but it sure get them high af.

[@christwoodyhussar6336]

Yep

AHAHAH

[@ayumuchan3541]

I never leave your videos questioning the subject, i always understand fully by the end. Everything is well answered, explained, and taught, even the description is filled with well organized links of everything mention. Anything you need, this channel's got it! Reviews, explanations, advice, and links.

[@nikolayalexandrov4271]

My english is not good but I wanna thank you for making this videos I like to watching and you talking soo clearly and understandably.I learn more from you than other who makes videos like this.I hope you understand me to I wish you and your family everything best...

[@LionSpear]

As Ukrainian I second that. Very often people throw words from a Gatling gun that is their mouth, here we have a marksman rifle - a bit slower, but hits 100% of the time.

[@lorusb6126]

The best pc tech youtuber hands down.

[@Vheod]

Yeah, very informative and intelligent. I like his personality also, feet firmly on the ground, all in all a fine human being :)

[@rhythmcaster2018]

Indeed! When I was young, flashy cut videos are better grabbing my attention. Now, informative videos like this one are my cup of tea.

[@luckylor3551]

Nope, Nerd on A Budget is without a doubt

[@kupotheisil8816]

Super clear instructions i completely understand and you talk very professionally thanks

[@impermanenthuman8427]

Yea this is the best and clearest optiplex upgrade vid I’ve seen so far

[@rj1234100]

My first build was a i5-2400 Optiplex suggested by Tech Deals. I’m still using this comp today and had the urge to upgrade, I’m hoping to put a rx580 and upgrade the PSU. Glad to see how much this channel has grown since I started watching, I always come back for any advice I need.

[@joemunk]

I love how much effort you put into these. I feel like you hit on every point and never seem to ramble or give us worthless information. Great production quality. Thanks for running all these tests so we dont have to!!

[@lemoking5406]

I've got a i5 2550k with a 1050ti and 8gb ram and it's awesome..

[@williamcricket7931]

Lemo King But the i5 2550k doesn't exist :/

[@lemoking5406]

William Cricket Which world are ya living in mate?

[@jackdaniels9296]

yeah, it does exist. hahaha :P

[@williamcricket7931]

Meh every dog has its day

[@asrarhossain1354]

Lemo King mine is a i5 7700k 16gb ram and just upgraded to 1080ti from gtx 750ti

[@airalert33]

2500k with a nice overclock going strong when paired with my GTX 1070! Amazing how Sandy Bridge still holds up so well with brand new GPUs

[@MaxFury_Official]

I just clocked my 2600k added a gtx 970 and noctua cpu fan and could play cemu mario kart 55-60fps, ultra settings. from 25-44fps with a radeon r 280x and stock intel fan, low settings.

[@ChrisChong1]

These are my favorite type of Tech Deals videos. I still use my Dell Optiplex i5-2400 with a GTX 1050 and SSD as my HTPC and Rocket League with friends on the couch.

[@GregoryCunningham]

I'm pretty jaded when it comes to consumer tech reviews. You're one of the few people that do an excellent job while retaining a high ethical standard. Thank you!

[@KTSpeedruns]

I've seen people complaining about "only" being able to afford a 3rd or 4th gen Intel core i5 or something similar. I always want to tell them to shut up because I'm only rocking a 2nd gen i5. Broke as hell and probably gonna take me a year of saving up to get to a newer platform. Playing Witcher 3 on an i5 2400 with a 1050 2GB. I'm super happy. Some people just feel too entitled. This right here, though, is the deal. Get a pre-built and just slap in a couple new or slightly used parts. I see too many "budget build" videos that put it together brand new and don't really see the level of awesome the pre-built method gets.

[@winfieldk6692]

You still have a better CPU than my i3 6100 ;( I wish I went the used route when I built my PC, because I had an i7 950 laying around, but I thought it was trash because it was so old... I plan on upgrading to icelake/Zen 2 2600 in 2019 though :)

[@jawnTem]

I know that you wouldn't normally suggest putting a newer card in such an old machine; however, it might be better justified if you consider that it adds more life to your older rig, making it last longer, and the card can always be moved to a new build at some later date. Very decent video and I'm looking forward to your future comparison video.

[@KevinShroff]

Especially when considering you can get these Dell machines with i7's, the 1070 makes a lot more sense

[@dytch7243]

Tech Deals is the best computer and technology reviewer on the internet! He is outstanding!

[@michaelc657]

Watching on a 3770K from 2012 with a 1070 and 650W PSU. I was surprised at how few chips represented a meaningful upgrade.

[@LyfeUndead]

Just got the same machine for $121 with shipping, 1tb hdd+4gb ram and its really clean! Excited to start gaming again once 1050ti comes down in price. Thanks TD, you're a huge help!

[@codybroken]

No hype, no gimmicks, just solid info.

[@richscott2483]

In May 2008, I had done a DIY desktop build with a Gigabyte GA-X48T-DQ6, E8500@3.16GHz (later upgraded to Core 2 Quad Q9650), OCZ 2x2GB DDR3 Platinum 1600MHz (upgraded to total 8GB), 2-ATI HD 3870 in CF (later upgrade to HD 6870 CF, now using a single R9-280X), Zalman CNPS9500AT cpu fan, Zalman ZM850HP-850W powersupply, in a Thermaltake Armor Plus (VH6000SWA) full tower. Still runs and functions very well but overall about 2 1/2 times slower than my newest DIY rig build in Feb. 2015 (Gigabyte GA-Z170X Gaming 3, i7-6700K@4.2GHz, Adata 4x8GB XPG Z1 DDR4 2800MHz, 2-GTX 970 in SLI, Corsair RM850i powersupply, Corsair H60 AIO cpu cooler, LEPA Lenyx LPC801A-B Full-Tower, Windows 10 Pro.) The only thing I cannot use my PC for is 4K gaming otherwise nearly 4 years has passed and still as good as any new PC on the market here in 2019. No one needs a new PC each year, just something you can make minor UpGrades to and it will last you 4 to 7 years before you need to purchase a new PC. In 1982, I had the Commodore 64, in 1983 the Apple IIe Pro system, (decided against the IBM PC Jr.) and the Apple IIe lasted me until 2001 or 18 years. Due to the advances in Personal Computers with MS Windows 98se and Netscape and the World Wide Web, it was time to get into the game. In 2001 bought a Compaq Presario that had the 1st Pentium 4 cpu with RAMBUS memory (too many problems), in 2002 bought Compaq Presario 5423US and later did my 1st DIY build in May 2008 already mentioned above. Save your money and invest in Do It Yourself builds about every 5 years which you can Upgrade without doing a major overhaul and wasting money. Things haven't changed that much cause my 2008 rig still has a couple years of life left or maybe till 2020/21 cause I can run Windows 10 with it and obtain updated drivers as long as Microsoft supports Win10. - Word of advise "New isn't always better" as AMD, Intel and nVidia keep putting stuff out that isn't any improvement from the previous and they're asking you to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars for a small and rather insignificant gain as what the company is gaining is your hard earned money and laughing at you. Recommend that your next pc is a "DIY" or purchase a custom build from a reputable computer customized building company just be sure to buy their warranty and that they are responsible for S&H.

I love your videos man, thanks to you im back after 10 years in the world of computer gaming. I bought myself a Dell Vostro 470 with an intel i5 3450 and i ran into the same problem since i installed a Gigabyte mini GTX 1060 3GB and the pc has the same toolless feature. I basically managed to push with my fingers (again not recommended) holding it till the blue thing bent. At least now i don't feel alone having had this problem. Keep the amazing job and the deals coming!!

[@maniek79]

The best tech channel on youtube. @Tech Deals explains every part and aspect of building a pc in a very approachable manner.

[@ek3313]

why do i get so happy just by looking at you 😆❤ ps. the thumbnail is always so nice

[@kevinfonkou4220]

Still usefull in 2019!!!! Thanks

[@OFFICIALMERK]

Will an RX 470 work in a Dell XPS 8500

[@lawrencedavenport5702]

What a great presentation which is especially useful with all the minor but very important tips for manipulating connectors and the actual removal and replacement of the power supply. Thanks for a thoughtful and well explained procedure.

[@drdiscostu]

Sweet video. I have a 4570 and have just ordered a 1060 6gb. Did loads of research but didn't find this video until I made the order - but it's given me confidence.

[@carlkitchen]

Although I'm the tech person among my friends and family, I appreciate videos like this so I can recommend them to people if I can't make it in person to do the work. Also helps people decide if it's something they are willing to do themselves.

[@G4ming_OG]

So i got an optiplex 790 mt Intel Core I7 2600 -3.4Ghz with 4gb of ram and 500 gb hdd for 110 dollars in ebay and so i went to youtube to look if anyone knew anything about it and i am so happy i found you !! Thank you so much for all this detail information I can’t wait to get it in the mail and try all of this things I already had in mind but you made it so much easy to put together. Thank you for your videos plz keep it up , happy to follow u

[@Yucci]

Awesome video! Love from Sweden!! 🇸🇪💕

[@ReZhorw]

Yay Sweden

[@ReZhorw]

?? Just cus you've seen some propaganda videos about "islamification" of sweden doesn't mean it's what's literally happening...

[@Yucci]

ReZhorw Some people Dora’s the understand things.. But Swedes doo!! Lol jk

[@Yucci]

TVN dno I don’t really understand what ur saying, because that’s not really English. But seriously, you’re hanging out a whole population, not everybody in Sweden rapes people of course. Neither does everybody in America.. rape exists everywhere. Right now it may happen more in some places than others.. And yes you’re racist as you are calling me a rapist

[@ReZhorw]

Fyyyyfaaaan

[@MidnightBanshi]

Just goes to show that YES........older computers can be updated without having to replace the whole thing! This is very useful!

[@TechDeals]

They can, but I wouldn't really put a $400 GPU into this... a 3GB GTX 1060, yes... :)

[@bhavyamalik3239]

A recent example is my pc... Most of the gamers wont believe(as even i cldnt) i did Arkham knight on med settings on 1080p with fairly ok fps.... Something like 25-40 Now i am short on budget so i decided to upgrade only on GPU.. Precisely the Zotac gtx 1080 mini... And this video has reassured me of my hypothesis. Current config on which i have completed AK and play rocket league type light games flawlessly Amd phenom 2 8 gigs ddr3 ram Radeon hd 7750 2 gb... Lol Gtx1080 mini will be arriving soon.. Will update about the performance bump. PS: I love TD videos very much.. Simple.. Very elaborate and very good guidance... Also i like ur simplicity bro.... My most of the purchases are 90 percent of the time are decided after TD reviews

[@jupitersailing4373]

This is the most informative build guide I have ever seen, very well done! Subbed! (Even though it's not really a build guide, I still loved that you explained everything very thoughtfully and carefully.) :)

[@BashoStrikes]

Just getting ready to do this with that PC. Hope the motherboard can handle the power necessity for that particular slot. I've read it's somewhat of a crap shoot with these Dell motherboards. I realize this is an oldie, but just wanted to add that this guy is as pro as it gets on KZbin and most other places when it comes to instruction. He's a great teacher.

[@killercat268]

Good old tech deals :) this here is why I started watching ya. Love these types of videos

[@Out2GetYaWorldAKAMcfly]

Yes! Back to the Family mans gaming PC 😄 2 Kids + 2 Pets + Wife = no money for Daddy to play lol

[@uther10]

Thanks for the vid! I bought one of these machines a few months ago for a family member and after throwing in some RAM and a SSD it is a perfect system for school and light gaming for them!

[@toothstepper]

This is the 3rd video I’ve seen of yours and I can honestly say that you need to be a brand ambassador or a company spokesperson if you’re not then you’re killin it here bro!

[@trush0t1]

Does the humming bird increase performance?

[@TechDeals]

Yes! :)

[@matt-zr6zs]

amazing how you can turn a 6 year old pc to a modern day machine , just goes to show you ya do'nt need the latest and greatest well done tech deals plz show us benchmarks on that machine

[@baklap141]

There are still a lot people that believe that when a pc is 2 years old its already crap 😆 I even rock the 1st gen i7 870 in a optiplex with a 1050ti and 16gig rams + ssd. Cost me under 350 euros and I play games on medium or max settings 1080 resolution just fine with 60+ fps. Its still really a fast pc while that i7 came out like 8 / 9 years ago. And that on the oem 280 watts psu 😂 my older pc with a core 2 duo + 330mb 8800 gtx is a 800 watts machine with a lot less computing power 🤣 Ive bought a second optiplex sff for a media center for just 150 euros , its a great media center pc for the money. Upgrades like cpu etc are so cheap , I can get the i5 650 for 15 euros hahahaha cant beat that price

[@dytch7243]

My Corsair HX650 power supply lasted 5 years of being on nearly 24-7 for about an hour of standard computer use a day. It has recently died and was turning the computer on for a second, then turning it off. A new EVGA power supply fixed the problem. I think the Corsair has a. 7 year warranty on it so I may try to get a replacement. I go with Seasonic or EVGA power supplies for all my builds now!

[@chriscooper2395]

I love this real world approach, have been building systems for years and often on a budget. Loved the making a thread with a screw and a power tool - have had to do this on more than one occasion! Keep up your great work man, love your channel.

[@simant5361]

Tip.. If you have a stripped thread in your GPU retention plate use a motherboard standoff as a nut behind .Works great.

[@cillitbang6127]

I think i'm addicted to watching your vids I don't know why there just sooooooooooooooo amazing I've recommended your channel to all my friends, btw your narrating is so good and your videos aren't boring keep it up!!!

[@alexstafford2465]

Must say you inspired me to buy my optiplex 980 with a i5-2400 as my first gaming pc and it was a great deal it was listed as $117 with an advertised 2gb ram 320gb hard drive and win7 but it shipped with 8gb 320gb hdd and win10 pro an amazing deal and paired with a gtx580 i picked up for $50 it runs flawlessly and all i had to do it modify the drive cages to fit the card. Thanks alot for making these videos

[@denisfortier9716]

i did something similar to a HP Pavilion P6540F using a ASUS GTX Dual 1050 card. It fit perfectly. I also used a Samsung 250 Gig SSD and a similar power supply. Now my system is more powerful and can be used with Lightwave 3D Modeler software.

[@Alexpc1276]

*_Love how you construct your videos man!, very professional, cheers!_*

[@esperanzavibes2368]

Excellent video, very satisfying to watch! And guys, the best upgrade for this 9010 is one with these specs (i7-3770K (Intel® Q77 Express Chipset supports it), gtx 7010 ti, and 32 gigs of ram) if you have got the money, trying to build a pc with these specs would surely do your pc gaming enthusiasm justice!

[@benvasquez8307]

4gb is still plenty. 8gb is average and 16gb is on the horizon. I recently over the summer built a pc with a 3570 (non-k) and gtx 660 and 16gb of ram and works like a charm. Nice video

[@armando1is1great]

I'd say 8 minimum for modern games.

[@benvasquez8307]

You can get by with 4 on lower settings at 1080p

[@skootles1]

Just bought the recommended cx550 corsair power supply from your affiliate link. I hope I did it right. Next up, graphics card.. I appreciate you Tech Deals guy!

Hey Tech deals, I'm new to pc building and was really confused about which parts to build, your videos helped me cut though the BS and pick out the parts for my very first gaming PC.

I cleaned it thoroughly, and it just started up again !

[@ammarkhan6883]

how can i like this video twice??this video solved so many of my qestions just like your other videos if i get a job in future i will be a patreon of your channel for sure!

[@joekavanagh5271]

I'm always building Frankenstein computers out of spare parts. I love these videos.

[@carlwells9504]

Right up with my system! I have a current i5-2400 on a h61 M/B. My biggest issue is I got too basic a motherboard orignally as I would like USB 3.0, (just as you mention the add-in USB 3.0 card!) Sata 3.0, RAID and perhaps overclocking. SO I may aswell get a new motherboard although its more of an outlay as I need RAM, M/B and CPU all at once.

[@TMG.608]

The best in presenting tech stuff 👍🏼excellent subjects 👏🏼

[@venomnz6799]

I sold my beast system, been on a mission to build a modest gaming PC using very little money and working on peoples PC's for parts, got $130NZD in it, i7 3770k @4.5Ghz, 16Gb Ripjaws 1600mhz, 1.5Tb HDD, 256Gb SSD, GTX 970 +250 mem clock, +150 core clock OC, Cooler Master Cooler, Cooler Master Gold Cert PSU, Cheap Office case (done on purpose to look crap lol) Gigabyte Z77X mobo. Runs everything I wanna play in 4K still, League of Legends gets 110FPS Maxed in 4k, everything else I wanna play runs mint in 4k too, my old system was a 6700k water cooled, GTX 1080, 16Gb ddr4, 256Gb ssd, 2x 3Gb hdd, EVGA 650w PSU, ROG mobo. I can honestly say to anyone looking to downgrade to do it if you think you don't need that power, there is nothing my new (old) system can't do that I need it to do, but to be fair I do most of my gaming on my Xbox One X in 4k (Don't hate me lol). good luck to everyone out there having fun with their PC's, Great Vid by the way, SUBSCRIBED!!

[@RetroTinkerer]

And this is the kind of videos that I subscribe your channel for! I just love it!

[@kopfauftischhau216]

i would like to mention the fact that the pciex16 slot found on this pc are sometimes only validated for 40-60 watt,which is lower then a 1050ti needs. There will be no problem, i run a 750ti for 2 years in a 40 watt slot,but if you are a very carefull person this could matter to you.

[@michelhanson1500]

Whoa. Awesome haircut man. One Love from Jamaica. Great video as always.

[@staha]

I love your videos, very informative, honest and clear. You answer all my questions as if you can read my mind. Keep up the great work!

[@Cheekymonkeytoday]

Have to agree regarding the GPU by taking an old workbench PC and a couple of upgrades to ram and power supply and sticking in a 1050ti or 1060 you would get pretty reasonable performance at 1080p. looking forward to the benchmark on a 1070 another great video from tech deals

[@MrBendybruce]

I know its not a 1070 but the evga 1060 sc 6gb is single fan and short, such that it would fit that case perfectly. Pretty much my favorite card in terms of size vs performance. As always, great video.

[@ExZ1te]

I need to sleep but tech deals videos are not to be missed. Any decent i5 machine from gen 2 sandy bridge onwards with a HTX 1060 grade gpu will be a great gaming pc. But sadly i still stuck in the Q6600 era of CPUs.

A side from i5-3570, further upgrade possibilities for socket 1155 are the I7-2600/3770 and Xeon 1240/1240v2

[@alexthesniper1952]

I wouldnt go the used route with a budget of 600$ dollars sure the gpu will be lesser but the benefits of modern cpu arechitures might be worth it. I would go used for 500$ because at that price point your looking at dual cores or ryzen 3. I would go optiplex 7010 or 790 series over the 3010 its cheaper and is usally more accessible pop in a gtx 1060 or 580 me 580 its faster gpu just pick between those two, then pop in a new ssd and psu and bam way better.

[@twitchymike970]

Hey Mr. Tech Deals. Got a question for you. I have this exact computer. Let me give you a run down of the current specs I'm running. Windows 7 professional, Service Pack 1, Interl(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40 GHz 3.40 GHz, 12.0 GM of (RAM) 3 sticks x 4GB sticks, 64-bit Operating System, and 931 GB of Hard Drive. Also Just got the VGA 500 B installed as well as an msi gefore gtx 1050 ti. I have the stock fans as well as I believe These two upgrades have been awesome and I actually bought them before I even saw this video so I am really glad I bought the right kind of upgrades lol. Anyway my main reason posting this is for my question being... What is the highest potential motherboard I can fit into this computer that is 100% compatible.

[@diskrazycatstrippin]

Nice video..needed to know a little more about the cheap i5 dells...good job and to add. For this build i would lean toward the 1050 ti with the 16 gigs of ram and a samsung evo ssd..perfect for a run of the mill pc

[@oldcracker3383]

3470 Hp 6300 Pro with a LP GTX 1050 ti is an amazing upgrade to this great PC highly recommend

Hello Sir, I have been watching your videos on KZbin and I have decided to build my first budget pc. Below are my components Intel - Pentium G4560 3.5GHz ASRock - B250M Pro4 Micro Corsair - Vengeance LPX 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2133 Memory Crucial - MX300 275GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive Zotac - GeForce GTX 1050 2GB Mini Video Card Cooler Master - MasterBox 5 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case Corsair - CXM (2015) 450W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply I am using the stock fan. What do you think about my components. Is there any part you think I should change? I have also notice so people glue the fan to the cpu but I didn’t see you doing that in some of your videos. Who is that? I also got this compatibility notes “The motherboard M.2 slot #1 shares bandwidth with a SATA 6.0 Gb/s port. When the M.2 slot is populated, one SATA 6.0 Gb/s port is disabled.” Does it mean I can’t use M.2 SSD card. Do I just go for normal SSD which kinda clear the issue? Many thanks Email: [e-mail]

Great video!! Did you ever do the comparison video between the i5-3450, the new i3 and the Ryzen 3 all with GTX 1070's? I'd be interested in see the results!!

if your going to get an OptiPlex i suggest going for the i7 4790 non k configuration. That cpu can pair with a gpu as strong as GTX 1080 and have good frames. minimal bottleneck.

Bought a used hp dc8300 i5 3470, 8 gig ddr3. An SSD drive, A used gtx 1060 and a sata to 6 pin power adapter. The original 320W psu runs the system perfectly.

i'd like to see you build the recommended spec PC for Destiny 2 cheap as possible (i5-2400, GTX 1060 6gb, 8 gb ram) one day

This is actually good content for A+ certification pursuers, something to look into.

I really like your videos, and, I thought this would be interesting as in the summer my version of the PC in this video failed and I considered upgrading along the lines shown in this video. But I didn't, as in researching the topic i got the bug and I ended up with a Ryzen 7 1700/1080 system partially based on the recommendation of Tech Deals. However, this video left me thinking yeah and so... Maybe I missed the point or maybe there are follow up videos. But this one basically seemed to show how you can get an enthusiast PSU into your Dell and how you can force a GPU into it that you wouldn't recommend putting in it anyway. Analysis of the financial pros and cons is what i was expecting but didn't get. This is what Tech Deals does best. So why not do a cost benefit analysis of upgrading an old Dell against the other options. I'd enjoy such a video and I think many others would too. Just to conclude I love your work, so think of this as some constructive criticism on 1 video. PS if you've done such a video already apologies...

R7 1700 will crush this machine in anything other than basic stuff... be happy with your monster rig!

Wow, thanks for the video! I just got one of these, put a SSD in her, I'm going to update the power supply, stick 32gb of ram in her and run Access databases and Excel workbooks off her, I think it will work great for that, I'm not a big gamer, I don't see the need for an expensive gaming card. Well, maybe just to have one... so for the money would you recommend a 1050 or a 1060? And, on those cards do you have to go mini or can you just stick a regular card in?
