An X5650 with no overclock is a little weak for modern gaming when paired with a 2060, you could save a lot of cash and go for a 1660 super.

so the other day i was thinking about upgrading my computer** with an rtx 2060 or something similar, but i don't know enough about my cpus (2 xeon x5650s) or how strong they are.

 

**mac pro (2012 or 2011 cant remember) with a msi 4gb 1050 ti afterburner edition plus a Radeon Hd 5770 1gb (each for separate monitors) 24gb ddr3 ram, and 2 xeon x5650s.

Ps: no Im not running mac OS, yuck, i forced (maybe pirated) windows down its throat.

 

Thanks!

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
