try and get 1tb of storage. like a 1tb hdd

For example, you can get an rx 580 for 150 bucks and its about as performant as a 1060 6gig AISURIX Radeon RX 580 Graphic Cards, 2048SP, Real 8GB, GDDR5, 256 Bit, Pc Gaming Radeon Video Card for AMD, 3XDP, HDMI,DVI-Output, PCI Express 3.0 with Freeze Fan Stop for Desktop Computer Gaming Gpu : Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

Thats the 2048sp thats more akin to the RX 570 in performance. Also how in the bloody hell you dont remember that You can get these for 70$ or far lower on ebay?

Wont work, your board uses 10 pin ATX12VO, and its also likely that it comes with non standard pinout. You need to either find a computer specific 10 pin adapter from modDIY (yes theyre more expensive than what you can get on the open market but theyre the few that are actually competent here), or skip this and work with the meager 210W budget using a SATA adapter.

 

But beyond that your game plan is solid, but yeah 1050Ti in 2023 when RX 580 on used market can get better performance for few more pounds extra and more crucially in the more modern games, more VRAM? Yeah nah mate.

Please go with this, you will be much happier, just hope that the motherboard in the Lenovo is not a proprietary boards, it might make upgrading very difficult.
