Whats up, I randomly stumbled upon an old laptop I had gotten for college but was too bulky to lug around to class and was messing around with it. Currently, my family moved far away from my university and on vacations, I want to be able to play some games at home with my friends without having to lug my desktop all around the country. Currently it can run some games but at low settings and rarely 1080p. I also think I am limited by the lowly DDR3 VRAM. The specs currently are as follows: CPU: Core i7 3840QM @2.8ghz RAM: 16gb GPU: Quadro K2000M PSU: Generic Dell powerbrick, 180W I am trying to figure out what graphics card to buy to upgrade it, and it seems like I have limited options with the MXM 2.0a form factor. I could get a Quadro K2100M, which would be marginally faster or the AMD FirePro M5100. If any of you guys have any other suggestions please leave it below.

Hello I've never posted on here, but I'm desperate to get this PC to work before I go to college. I bought a bunch of parts to turn my rig into a mini-ITX rig so that's it's easier to handle. I didn't want to spend too much money, so I just bought a new case, motherboard, CPU cooler, and PSU. Specs are as follows: CPU: i5-7600k Motherboard: gigabyte ga-b250N Phoenix wifi Cooler: Noctua NH-L9x65 Case: cooler master elite 130 GPU: gigabyte gtx 1060 6gb SSD: ADATA 120GB HDD: 2x wd green 2tb 5400rpm PSU: Corsair cx 650w RAM: ADATA xpg 2133 MHz 2x 8gb I bought the first motherboard, didn't work, wouldn't post. I returned it and got a new one, didn't work again. Everything should work and is supported with the motherboard, and I've vetted that every other component works using the old motherboard. I've reset the cmos, reseeded the battery on the Mobo, tried with one stick of ram, tried out different slots, nothing works. Also if anyone has a mini itx motherboard that works with 7th gen Intel CPUs, lmk, I'll buy it. Help, this PC is going to be the end of me.
