enough for a rx570?

well, it is a 13 year old yorkfield chip, and will certainly not hold a candle to anything from the latter half of the previous decade, however, I'm fairly sure that a nice 4.1GHz oc will make it a decent-ish chip for mid-range 1080p gaming, paired with what I assume is the 4 gig rx570

Posted

currently trying to bring it up to speed, but it has a GTX 660 inside it which obviously wont cut it, struggling to find much information about the board that i can understand (being a simpleton) so i thought id come here and ask about this

 

i have a zotac mini 1060 3gb i can put in it (but might leave that in the optiplex 3010) and in my main pc i have a rx570 8gb and was wondering if the rx570 would be a fit in this mb or if i would run into any troubles (after i get the 3070 that is)

A QX9650 is more of a problem than a GTX 660.

It's a 13 year old CPU that performs significantly worse than even the weakest modern dual-core. It'll bottleneck the 660, forget the 1060.

At stock 3GHz? I thought it took a 4.2GHz OC to push it to that level.

Yes it's better also an extreme edition chip. It's also a quad core instead of a dual core so you should just keep it no need to upgrade. I only mentioned the q6600 due to @HelpfulTechWizard telling me it's a dual core until I looked it up for myself lol.

It's a core 2 extreme, quad core, and OCs fairly well

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
