Either use it as a side build and get into some light editing or something. That or you can sell it on Ebay. Got a brother,sister,cousin? Give it to them. Sell it to a friend who needs an upgrade. 

 

Spread the PC love :)

  1. Scrounge some cheap parts and make a LAN rig.
  2. Give it to someone you know who needs an upgrade.
  3. Sell it and pocket the cash.

Mini ITX HTPC with a minute case

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? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I second this. You can definitely use it for rendering in 3D modelling applications and stuff, or yeah you know, wait till you find a deserving soul to hand it off to!

Of course you can sell it too. I recently sold my 1050 Ti for a good amount to some CG animator guys.

Thank you for the help guys, I will try to render with both of them and see if it's worth using it. Otherwise I will sell it online.
