So i have a friend who has a quiet old PC which has a q6600 as a CPU. He wants to buy a GTX 1050 to put in his pc so that it will be able to run Overwatch and CS:GO. However he is not sure whether it will fit in his motherboard. When we fire up CPU-Z it says he has an MS-7379VP, but i haven't heard of it.  So my main question is: Can we put a GTX 1050 in his pc? And will it be good enough to run Overwatch?

 

Edit: He does also have a 350 Watt PSU.

The motherboard has a pcie slot, so it should work no problem ;)

Can you game on an 8-year-old i7? Is the 4-year-old GTX 660 still relevant? Upgrading the HP Pro 3500

Okay :), but does it matter if it is an 8x or 16x? or if it is a pcie express or gen 1, 2, or 3?

It seems like its a 16x slot, so that should be ok. The generation does not really matter, but on this board it will probably be pcie gen 1.1.
