This is the kind of channel that youtube is (used to be ...should be...) about.

Thank you! But wouldn't be a lot without the viewers / community, so thank you too!

I'm waiting for a bunch of Radeon RX 470 8GB nitro+, that I got for almost nothing, and according to the description, i think most of them just need a fan replacement. Can't wait to try to fix them

Nice! If the fan power is dead, you could always fit a case / molex fan to it and use it that way. Had a Radeon 7770 that I had nicked the fan from in my latest junk pc video, where I'd bodge fitted a molex fan to it. Cheers!

Looks great, what low profile gpu under or around $50 would you recommend to be paired with an i7 2600

[@Tech-Nerdrome]

Hi, I'd have a look at something like the geforce 1060 6gb (avoid the 3gb as less vRAM and lesser GPU), which are around that price as low profile. Should be less than 50 £/$. It is fully dx12. Be careful of more recent low profile / cost models like the Radeon 6400, as these only use 4x lanes, which would be limited to pcie 2.0 on your CPU, which would be.... Bad! So an older GPU that uses the full 16x lanes, like the 1060 would be best. Cheers!
