I have been kicking around the idea of of adding two 4:3 or 5:4 monitors to the sides of my 24 to run as a gaming setup as well as work flow. I know the cringe many of you have on the thought of such a jank design, but if it can work it would fit my budget and my space much more efficiently than three 16:9 screens that I could not afford. I have found that 19 inch monitors at 5:4 are about as close as it gets in height, (20 in at 4:3 would be a bit closer I think but I can't seem to find any made with displayport which I need to make this work.) My problem is the native 1280x1024 I am unaware if i can have a continuous display that will match up with my 24 in 1080 display. Now I can count, but I just wanted to ask the brain trust that is this forum if anything can make this work properly outside of dropping my resolution on my main display. although I may still try. I'm not picky about gfx, all about the gameplay.

Recently purchased a Dell optiplex small form factor. Motherboard accepts an 8 pin power connector. I know adapters exist, but I'm curious are there psu's in higher wattages that have this connector naively?

Yeah, 1080p, mid settings gaming. I've never needed to crank the gfx to enjoy games. I have a GTX 1060 6gb, hopefully that'll get me mid to high settings. Definitely not maxing AAA. Honestly, if I could just add more ram to my setup I would, and keep my 10 yr old cpu, lol.

I started building PCs as a teenager, first one in 04. Minimum spec, but I remember a mentor of mine sprung for a 64mb graphics card. From what I remember back then building rigs was good cpu speed, enough ram and a gfx card with as much memory as you could afford. I lost touch with my understanding of hardware spec after cores and hyperthreading, I still have no idea wth a cuda core is. Anyway, I'm in need of new cpu mb and ram. I don't need brand new top of the line. 3ghz or so, handles games and supports 8gb ram or more. I've been thinking of trying to find used PCs on eBay that have good spec, any advice on a cpu to keep an eye out for maybe something a few years old as much as 5 years would suit me fine.
