A rx560 is a good option.

That will work great.

The cheapest you can really go is a gt1030 2GB. It is about 130AUD and meets Netflix 4k streaming guidelines.

The 560 however is a much better choice as it has double the VRAM and is faster all around. Its even capable of playing a few older games. Especially if you use resolution scaling.

Hi,

 

I am currently using as my daily computer a Lenovo Laptop that is connected to a cheap Dell hub that is powering my two 4k Monitors. the lag is terrrible. But i cant get away from the big screens.

 

The Lenovo Laptop has an intel Celeron and 8GB of ram (Used to be 4) and a slow 500GB HDD. 

 

I have an old computer that was given to me. and it at least has a core 2 duo in it with 16GB of ram. but no DP or hdmi. so i still need the dock.

If you buy one of the GPUs mentioned above you have the missing ports so you do not need the dock after that. The black slot seems to be PCI-E, so it should work. Only problem: What height is the slot? maybe you need a slim version of the gpu.

 

EDIT: Also check if you have enough power from your PSU.

This one would be low profile and does not need additional power: https://www.mwave.com.au/product/msi-geforce-gt-1030-low-profile-oc-2gb-video-card-ac12153

Will it be able to comfortably run my two 32" 4K monitors?

I don't think so. Its just powering to screens. Simply browsing Chrome or watching content is more cpu and ram heavy

So if i get into a little bit of gaming later on, what's a good choice for long term versatility.

 

Thanks

Not with your current CPU, or at 4K. You've got high end monitors connected to a super low end machine. If you upgraded to a Core 2 Quad you could run games at 1080p on Medium-ish settings though.

Make sure to quote or tag me (@JoostinOnline) or I won't see your response!

Hi,

 

So i have some more dimensions for you. thank you all for your help so far.

 

I can fit a graphics card that it 170x40x70mm 

 

This means a low profile graphics card at half length.

 

The explosion slot is indeed x16 PCI-E 

 

lastly. The graphics card cannot require external 8-pin connector as i do not have a modular power supply and have not extra power leads from the current gear in this case.

 

 

Thanks Heaps.

Isaac
