I have a Zotac Zone Edition GT 630 2GB (Kepler-for reference).

I bought a new pc,

Ryzen 5 3600x

MSI B450m pro-vdh plus

Corsair vengeance 3000mhz (8GBx1)

Corsair VS550

Corsair spec-01 case

Kingston A400 240GB SSD

 

 

Now i have no money left for a gpu (thinking about gtx1660). So will my pc post for the first time boot & how far will it affect my performance. Is it fine to use a old gpu like mine on this latest build ?!

Looking for valuable information !!

That GPU will bottleneck a LOT, making every modern game pretty much unplayable, but everything else should be fine except gaming performance. (Day to day use should be pretty snappy)

why no dark mode?

Obviously, it'll be severely bottlenecked during gaming and any GPU-demanding processes in general. Other general uses would probably be fine, though.

Ryzen 5 2600 | Asus ROG Strix GTX 1660 Ti | Asus ROG Strix B450-E | Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB (2x8) RAM 3200MHZ 16CL | Cooler Master Mastercase H500 | TX650M GOLD | 2TB WD BLUE 5400 RPM | 500GB SATA SSD | Asus MG248QE Monitor| ---------- | Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum Mouse | SkullCandy Crusher Wireless Headphones | Trash $6 membrane keyboard from a brand which I can't read the name of because it's literally so cheap that the company's logo hasn't been printed right and the letters are unclear and now that we're at it it's so loud and hurts my fingertips I honestly regret buying it I wish I'd bought normal ram sticks instead of corsair's overpriced rgb ones and with the money I saved buy a better keyboard instead

Just now, arvindtal said:

Just need clarification about the pciex16 slot also. Since my old gpu is DDR3 & modern gpu's are DDR5. Right?! Its compatible yet how far.

Yes, the GPU memory doesn't matter, any PCIe 16x GPU will work in a PCIe 16x slot
