Posted July 16, 2020 I've got a pretty crappy computer, my computer has an intel celeron G530, 8gb ram and no GPU, just using internal. So should i buy a GPU like a 1050 TI or a ryzen 3 which has intergrated graphics and has 3.6 GHz. Unlike my current 2.4 GHz? Which would you guys choose?

Posted July 16, 2020 Where are you located, and how much can you spend? It's likely you can build an entirely new PC with used components, something like an LGA 1155 Dell Optiplex and a used RX 470. i5 12600KF | Zotac RTX 4080 Gaming trinity | Team Vulcan 2x16GB DDR4 3600 | ASRock Z690M-ITX/ac | WD Black SN850x 2TB Cooler Master NR200P v2 | ID Cooling Zoomflow 280 XT | SeaSonic Focus SGX-750 | Thermalright 2x140mm + 2x120mm aRGB LG C2 OLED 48" 120hz | Epomaker TH80 (Gateron Yellow) | Logitech MX Master 3 | Koss Porta Pro Comm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 16, 2020 You can't just switch to Ryzen. You need to buy the mobo and ram too. If you only have budget for the GPU, go with that first. The graphics in 1050ti is far superior than any Ryzen integrated at the moment.

Posted July 16, 2020 You should save up for a new system as well it's just too weak and would cost too much to upgrade. Got a budget? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 16, 2020 Just now, Orika said: My budget is around £150, and I am located in england. Hmm. This could be a start actually, see if you can find a Dell Optiplex with an i5 and 8gb of RAM for around 75 GBP on ebay. Spend the other 75 on a used rx 470 or 570.

Which would you guys choose? find some sandy bridge/ivy bridge (2xxx/3xxx) rig on gumtree for 50-70, and slap in a low-power 1050ti (again, from ebay or gumtree) for 40 bucks. That'll be a good way to go with that budget It is but human, to err, to buy a PSU, akin to dirt, but fret not, young Padawan, for we will tell you, what will become, of that, which you have earned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 16, 2020 I would rather look for a used cpu like the i5-2400(IF the motherboard supports it) for £20-30 and spend the rest on a gpu like gtx1050/1050ti or 1650/1650S, why buy a Sandy/Ivy Bridge PC when you already have one? Or start a fire with and RX570/580 with molex to 8pin PCI-E so that you have a reason to buy a whole new pc.

Still, the OP must first look for a 2400/2600 (3770s too, if you can find em), and then go for rigs It is but human, to err, to buy a PSU, akin to dirt, but fret not, young Padawan, for we will tell you, what will become, of that, which you have earned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 16, 2020 What model computer do you have? If it's a dell Optiplex, most of them are compatible with a standard PSU, so you could add a nice power supply and get a pretty good graphics card. 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 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me. Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference. How many watts do I need?

Also, yeah, that build just won't do, better to go used What are you on about? I said the 570 was the second upgrade to make to the build I suggested, not his current PC. The first upgrade, again, like I said, is a mass storage drive, to have more than 2 or 3 games installed at a time. For several reasons right now, people would rather spend an extra $50 or $75 to buy new rather than used. Ebay is in the middle here, since you don't have to go interact with sellers in person, but finding good prices on Ebay has been difficult recently. i5 12600KF | Zotac RTX 4080 Gaming trinity | Team Vulcan 2x16GB DDR4 3600 | ASRock Z690M-ITX/ac | WD Black SN850x 2TB Cooler Master NR200P v2 | ID Cooling Zoomflow 280 XT | SeaSonic Focus SGX-750 | Thermalright 2x140mm + 2x120mm aRGB LG C2 OLED 48" 120hz | Epomaker TH80 (Gateron Yellow) | Logitech MX Master 3 | Koss Porta Pro Comm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 16, 2020 @Orika the CPU you have is an LGA1155 Celeron, so check if the motherboard's power connectors are standard. I would look at something like an i5 3570 or an i7 3770, a new PSU (that Kolink classic power unit I recommended isn't bad) and a used 470/570. i5 12600KF | Zotac RTX 4080 Gaming trinity | Team Vulcan 2x16GB DDR4 3600 | ASRock Z690M-ITX/ac | WD Black SN850x 2TB Cooler Master NR200P v2 | ID Cooling Zoomflow 280 XT | SeaSonic Focus SGX-750 | Thermalright 2x140mm + 2x120mm aRGB LG C2 OLED 48" 120hz | Epomaker TH80 (Gateron Yellow) | Logitech MX Master 3 | Koss Porta Pro Comm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
