Good day I am working on using some older hardware to do a build but having a hard time picking a GPU as I was unsure how this system would stack up for gaming in 2019 it will be a spare system for the kids to use for 1080P gaming no 4k or any thing like that.

 

System specs:

MB: XFX 750i-72P9

CPU: Q9400 

RAM: 8GB OCZ 2N800SR

SSD: Samsung 860 EVO 500GB

HDD: Seagate 2Tb

Very poorly, what games is this thing going to be handling? I recommend something like a GTX 760/950.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

the CPU is very unfit for 2019 gaming, you're gonna have a bad time

Without a graphics card? Nah it's bad. Even with a graphics card (say a RX 560) it's still ill suited for anything demanding. I guess esports games (and others of similar hardware requirements) are what it can reasonably play at most.

CPU: i7-2600K 4751MHz 1.44V (software) --> 1.47V at the back of the socket Motherboard: Asrock Z77 Extreme4 (BCLK: 103.3MHz) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 RAM: Adata XPG 2x8GB DDR3 (XMP: 2133MHz 10-11-11-30 CR2, custom: 2203MHz 10-11-10-26 CR1 tRFC:230 tREFI:14000) GPU: Asus GTX 1070 Dual (Super Jetstream vbios, +70(2025-2088MHz)/+400(8.8Gbps)) SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB (main boot drive), Transcend SSD370 128GB PSU: Seasonic X-660 80+ Gold Case: Antec P110 Silent, 5 intakes 1 exhaust Monitor: AOC G2460PF 1080p 144Hz (150Hz max w/ DP, 121Hz max w/ HDMI) TN panel Keyboard: Logitech G610 Orion (Cherry MX Blue) with SteelSeries Apex M260 keycaps Mouse: BenQ Zowie FK1

As someone who deals with older hardware and games on it, that system wont be amazing, as for a GPU you could run it in, I'd say at most a GTX 960/760 or an AMD r9 270 which is my current GPU. You'll be CPU bottlenecked with any card like these but the games you can play will be decent, Fortnite, Minecraft, Apex, etc in that 60-90 fps range on medium settings at 1080p. You really shouldn't expect much, and upgrade that CPU if possible.

Probably something like GTX 960/1050/1050Ti from nVidia and I dont know about AMD but a RX 550/560 from the newer ones should be good but I suggest waiting and upgrading your whole system because Core 2 Quad is really not enough for gaming (at least more than 30fps) in 2019

I picked up a R9 280X for 35.00 just needed new fans not to hard of a fix the system seems to run well with the X5482 it is hitting 60+ fps on med / high setting should work well for the kiddos thanks for all the help
