Reusing Parts

>>55655678
Optical Drive.
close the thread.

>>55655700
HDD
>>55655700

Windows 10 deprecated, CPU, GPU, MB, RAM deprecated.

>>55655718
>>55655700
So the only things I should reuse are the HDD and Optical Drive. Is the CPU that bad?

>>55655784
Just the CPU, everything else I would replace, if the monitor is good then you keep that too

>>55656099
Is the RAM reusable?

>>55655678
Holy fuck there are some fags in this thread, all you need to upgrade is the GPU and you'll be fine.

>>55656200
Thanks, do you think I should replace the motherboard? My friend said having a dell motherboard is a mistake.

>>55656231
The motherboard is probably not a problem, but you may want to check the power supply rating (in watts) to make sure it can handle gaming with whatever hardware you've got. http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator

>>55656265
Alright thanks for your help man.

Also make sure to add an SSD to your system along side a new GPU

OP YOUR BUILD IS GOOD! ALL YOU NEED TO UPGRADE IS YOUR PSU, AND GPU! GET A 1060 AND 500 OR 600W PSU AND YOUR GOLDEN!
THE MOTHERBOARD ISN'T A PROBLEM!
Seriously though, the Dell motherboard is okay, I have one with a GTX 970.
Your PC will be so good if you upgrade GPU , and PSU.

>>55656398
Thanks for the feedback!

>>55656360
Yeah even a 120 GB SSD will be a huge performance boost.

>>55656360
>>55656441
Ill look into an SSD

OP here, my current PC is a Dell XPS 8700. Im trying to set out the parts on pc part picker, but they dont seem to have the case, and I cant find out what the CPU Cooler is. Any help would be greatly appreciated

>>55656986
It doesn't matter, faggot. Buy a new PSU and a new GPU and go play your fucking childrens' gaymes.

>>55656231
Your friend is a fucking retard

>>55657008
Will the PSU and GPU fit in the case?

>>55656200
Fucking this. Grab an rx480 or gtx1060 and you're gold

>>55657307
Would a 1060 or 480 fit in my case. Also would a new PSU fit in my case?

>>55657363
Can you post a picture of the inside please?

>>55657369
sure give me a sec

>>55657369
Just looked it up, you should be able to fit a standard atx power supply and a small card like the 480 or 1060 no problem.

>>55657386
Measure the gap from the back to the hdd bay though and compare it to the length of the cards you're looking to buy. Your cpu is a little old but still very high end

>>55657386
Also with the 1060 or 480 you probably won't need a new psu since the 1060 is only 120w and the 480 is 150w.

>>55656200

this

even a 2nd gen i7 is good enough for gaymes

Here's the inside

>>55657439
How many A on the 12v rail? Can we see the psu?

The 480 or 1060 will fit pretty comfily in there

>>55656200
THIS. Goddammit /g/, I expected better from you.

OP just get a better GPU. Assuming it's a pre-built PC, the PSU probably sucks and you should replace that if you get a beefy GPU. Also assuming it's pre-built, the ventilation probably sucks, so maybe you'll need some better fans? But that's really all there is to it. Don't let /g/ make you spend a ton of cash on shit you don't need.

>>55657436
Just saw these thanks for the help from the back of the base to the bay is about 10 inches so the cards should fit

>>55657484
Rx480 is 241mm long, less than 9.5 inches, should be an easy fit

Sorry I'm not well versed with computer lingo. If you were asking for a better picture of the psu here it is.

If your psu has a 6 or 8 pin connector like pic related you're fine. Your psu is powerful enough for these cards.

If not you can always use an adapter

>>55657563
Fuck off, it's enough for the 480 or 1060

>>55657563
ok any recommendation that would be the same relative size?

>>55657545
>>55657563
His psu has enough amperage on the 12v rail .

>>55657576
If you really want a new one, a budget psu like an evga 430w will work well, will be cheap, and will fit just as well as your current one, but your current one is powerful enough. 150w for the 480 means 12.5A from the 12v rail, which your psu can easily provide.

Get a new Power Supply (anything over 500watts and is 80+ Bronze rated) & either an RX 480 or GTX 1060.

>>55655678
Let it be, keep it as a server or a LAN pc for friends.

Buy a cheap 6600K with rx480 or GTX1060 and 16GB RAM.

>>55657603
Is this the connector you were talking about? If so it has 5 pins.

That's sata, it'll be more like this

Will an i7 2600 bottleneck my RX 480

>>55657715
No.

>>55657702
>>55657666
If you don't have the right connector, you can use one of these adapters

>>55656428
No problem. Please dont listen to some ot the retards telling you to change everything.
PSU and GPU is all you need.

>>55657745
His psu supports 385w on the 12v rail.

His cpu is 84w, and an rx480 will be 150w, or a gtx1060 will be 120w.

See
>>55657545

84+150 = 234, well below 385w.

>>55657729
I thought that shit is a fie hazard?

>>55657779
They aren't since the PC power connector have enough Amp to power a PCI-E connection.

>>55657702
Is it one of these?

>>55655678
you should be able to play any game you want. use high texture size with no antialiasing or 2x. disable ambient occlusion and vsync, enable triple buffering for less stutter.

Not really, this or an older version of this should work, but don't buy the 2.7 version.

>>55657807
Also this, most games should work fine for medium or low settings 1080p.

>>55657795
No.

Perfect.

You'll need only one of them for a gtx 1060 or rx480

>>55657972
Ok great, thanks to everyone in this thread for all of their help with my PC. Sorry for my ineptness.

>>55657972
you can stick the other one right up your ass!

>>55655678
Just get a new graphics card and whatever else you want.
