Upgrade for mini ITX build

[NotAVAP]

Hey guys,

a few months ago I build a gaming PC for my friend. Since the pricing of graphics cards was awful as we know and his budget wasn't that high I build this for him:

He told me yesterday that he wants to upgrade. What do you think of this upgrade? Should I recommend it to him?

Because of my location I have to order from Amazon Deutschland.

Thanks guys.

it's fine, but make sure that you've updated the motherboard's BIOS before upgrading to the 2600.

it should fit, but also take a look into the 1070 ti. not a big fan of palit tho.

I've already done that when I build it together.

I'm just going with the cheapest card from the parametric filter.

these are some of my suggestions as a alternative. but I don't know anthing about Czech Republic's pricing.

If they are any cheaper: you can also get the following cards:

MSI gaming (x)

Asus ROG strix

Gigabyte gaming (the 3 fan one)

as long as it fits and has good cooling it's fine. this is all just personal prefference

Will definitely check them out later. And pricing in Czech Republic is awful. A 1050 ti costs like $300... That's why I'm using German Amazon.

Yeah, cooling is a pretty big deal for me, that's why I'll probably get 2x 120mm fan for intake to have positive airflow.
