  1. case is still the prebuilt one, psu is an corsair 650 watt, so no trouble there. connectors seem to look al good, checked them up already, anyways, thanks for mentioning tho, ill go check again tonight.
  2. ok, thanks for the help! really appreciate how you helped me figuring this out. i will be buying a cheap H61/Z77 motherboard, and enjoy some games lol
  3. tried it with multiple gpus, failed both times. did everything i could find on the internet, all the shady techniques, does not work. i need a new mobo for sure lol
  4. well, if you want to know the entire story; i bought an rx 570, but it didn't work, because my motherboard doesn't support UEFI. then i exchanged it for an 1050 ti, because internet told me it would work, but it didn't. aaaand now i'm here. EDIT: and the best gpu i can get is an gtx 680
  5. well, i'm totally broke, and fine with lowering settings to medium. many benchmarks on youtube still show good performance with the 1050 ti or any other budget gpu. and i'm not selling anything before i have anything new that replaces it, and im too impatient to wait 3 months to buy a new prebuilt. i think ill go with the motherboard upgrade, and upgrade cpu later down the line.
  6. well, upgrading will cost me 60 bucks i guess, and buying a new prebuilt is 90? i really appreciate the help, and i know the i5-2400 is weak, but again, im super broke, so i'm doing the cheapest possible. how am i going to spend more this way if i may ask?
  7. Because i want to fit my new gpu in my system, i need to buy a new motherboard. preferably new or refurbished. the gpu i'm trying to fit is a 1050 ti, and my current motherboard is a: Pegatron 2ab5, and lga 1155 motherboard with 4 ram slots (all occupied atm) and no UEFI support. im wanting a motherboard which is socket 1155 again, has UEFi support, and at 2 slots, preferably 4. what are good motherboards to buy? im on a tight budget >100 bucks. currently looking at Z77 and H61 motherboards.
  8. lol this is my first system and i never used it, not gonna throw it away. thanks for the tip, but i'm kinda broke, so im spending as little as possible here.
  9. thats a bummer, thanks anyways for the information! looks like i need to upgrade the MOBO then.
  10. So for instance BF1, that would run at low settings? am i limited in directx level?
  11. CPU: i5-2400 GPU: - MOBO: pegatron 2ab5 PSU: Corsair vs 650 Ram: 10 gb of ddr3 @ 1600 mhz
  12. Selling my 1050 ti because its incompatible. limited to gtx 680 or hd 6000's. budget: as much as i can get for my 1050 ti.
  13. So i'm thinking about using an gtx 680 to game on, but is it still viable in 2020? does it still hold enough power to play modern games smoothly?
  14. After my experience with the 2hand market, (not being able to turn return something and no guarantee) im wanting to buy it from a company, found some refurbished ones for around 60, so that's the prices im looking at :). if i want to buy it from a company, is it still a viable option to upgrade the mobo, or should i sell the gpu and buy a weaker one?
  15. Hi i did something really really stupid, i wanted to create a "budget" pc, so i went with what the internet told me "upgrade a prebuilt". i bought an hp elite 7300 mt, with an pegatron 2ab5 motherboard. upgraded the psu to an vs650 from corsair, and purchased an RX 570 from msi. however, the motherboard is ancient, and doesn't get BIOS updates anymore, so its stuck on legacy. the RX 570 requires UEFI. so i had to exchange the gpu, which i did, for an gtx 1050 ti, since again, the internet told me it was possible. BUT IT WASN'T. trust me i tried everything, but i can't get them to work. im basically broke atm, and don't know what to do. should i wait till i have more money to buy an cheap H61/Z77 motherboard, or sell the gpu and throw in an ancient one? (the best gpu the mobo supports is gtx 680).
