Hi, i have been looking into building a light esports pc for my little brother, i myself own a prebuilt so i dont know much about building pcs. I have picked up a HP Z400 with a Xeon X5680, 18gb ddr3 ram and a 475watt psu for around 50 euros, i have a gtx 760 msi 2gb lying around so im just gonna throw that in there, the pc is not here yet. Will this PC be able to run Valorant at 144 FPS? or csgo/fortnite. -Dany

what gpu should i pair with a xeon x5670 , i was thinking of buying a 2060 but it might be to overkill? suggestions

ok, ty for your help !

that just fixed it ! TYSM. i put the fanspeed at 60 % and temp limit at 90. could i lower the power limit for better temps??

Thanks ! il go and play a game to test it for a bout an hour or so. il be back !

i did try and put it at 90c temp limit in afterburner but then the temps go above 85, 86c and im worried

didnt expect such a quick reply, ty. could i just run at 75% fan speed to keep it under 80c? and whats the max temp it can run at?

aight so i think i figured it out why it freezes. my temp limit on my gpu is set to 80 and while playing it goes over that. to like 81-85c could that be the problem?

Is there a way to install nvidia control panel without the microsoft store? i have disabled the store and cant install the nvidia control panel

okay, il do that and get back to you in few hours. wish me luck

i have replaced the cpu thermal paste. not the gpu since i dont know how to open and do it . i havent really dusted that much just a little bit .

ive taken alot of ur time and i really appreciate u still trying to help me

yep , fullscreen. and while im playing i have nothing on my 2nd monitor. i have a 144hz monitor and a 60hz one,.

ok, i checked again it doesent go up past 1.5, 1.6 and i have 2 monitors could that be the problem=?

its not exceeding 2gb vram it mostly stays under 1.5gb edit: il check again really quick. im not sure
