Upgrading my Gaming pc

[GGamer]

I would like to upgrade my hp elite desk 800 g1 but don't know what will work or not. My budget is $235 and I already picked out a 1660 super. Without the graphics card my budget is $450. I would like to stream and play vr games.

Welcome to the forums.

 

You do have the tower version of the EliteDesk 800 G1, right? The small form factor one won't hold most graphics cards.

 

Could you post the full current specs of the machine you have? These all came with 4th-gen Intel quad-cores that are pretty outdated for gaming, I think.

Is it this one? https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03808397

If so, in order to stream, play games at the same time, and have it be an enjoyable experience, I really think you need a whole new system.

For $215, you could've got an RX 6600, which is miles better than 1660 super.

if i just got the asus dual would that work because i had to cut down my budget a bit

No, like I said, you'd need to buy a whole new system, just buying a GPU won't instantly make your current PC a gaming PC, especially if you want to stream.

The CPU is old therefore very slow, the RAM is still DDR3 therefore very very slow, the PSU is of unknown quality 320w unit, the case has bery poor air flow.
