Hi, a few weeks ago i found on my work some old CPU and one is a Intel E5400 2.7 GHZ and i decide to put on my old computer, its a Olidata with a P4M900-M7 FE motherboard with 2 GB of ram DDR2 and some old WD 160 GB hard drive, the old CPU is a Intel E1200... My question is that i want to put some GPU on it and i wonder if there is some problem if i put an Nvidia GTX 650 Ti 1GB... Its the first time i try to build a PC and the only thing that i do by myself was change the CPU but i want to make sure that if i buy the GPU it will work fine with the motherboard
Sorry for my english, i know it's not good

what is your performance target? Sure a 650 ti is better than nothing, but sometimes it's not really worth spending money on old parts if they won't deliver

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?
