Alright so I have 2 older GPUs laying around from past builds, Asus STRIX 750ti 2gb and a EVGA GT 650 1gb.

 

I know the GT 650 is pretty much poop and not worth my time however my wife was using my 750 ti recently in her PC before upgrading and it still runs like a champ. 

 

what do you guys think? Should I even put money into it or will it be undriveable soon.

750 TI is still decent. Do you have a system that's using the 750 TI that needs an upgrade?

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

No it’s literally in a static bag in its original box. But I DO wanna make a build around it.

An old Xeon with 4 cores would pair well with it, an X5550 is so cheap, around $3. Not sure about motherboard, sometimes well sized server boards are easy to find, sometimes not. Other than that, you could look for an LGA 1155 board and a Xeon E3 V2 CPU.
