I found an old gigabyte ga p35 dq6 with an core 2 quad q6600 and 2gb ram. I added a set of 2x4gb ram sticks and an AMD HD6770 (psu is overkill). It was running fine but the os the hdd had was windows XP. Here's the problem: I need the pc for some light gaming. When trying to install windows 10...

For far too long I rent a VDS. I use it to run a minecraft server (FTB modpacks if that matters) and a personal cloud to store photos or other small files. I've been paying 25E per month, so it rounds up at 300E per year. For some time though, I've been tempted to build my own server and stop...

What's your cpu btw?

So if I use the integrated graphics, won't it stress the cpu?

I have an old 1366x768 monitor that I wand to use as a 2nd for browsing while gaming. Since it has only vga input I have the following options: 1) Buy a vga to hdmi adapter and connect it with my gtx 960. 2) Connect it with my i5-4670k's integrated graphics (16 fb ram) 3) Add my old gt 210...

We are talking about gaming on lga 771, a 2000-Ish platform designed to be a WORKSTATION, not as a gaming pc. With other words: It's an old platform, not optimized for gaming at all so you should be happy with these results. Check a video from Linus tech tips...

Well that's the thing I can't decide! Another guy on another thread suggested ( since I'm using the pc to play new titles ) that I shouldn't connect the 2nd monitor to the integrated graphics as it may affect performance worse than connecting it with the gt 210. What should I do??!!

The gt 210 will be connected with an old monitor via VGA. I'll use it just for browsing the net or having the music player on.

My primary monitor is an AOC 1920x1080 (Can't remember the model) and it's connected with dvi in the 960. The monitor I want to add is an old Asus 1366x768 that needs dvi to connect. So its either the integrated graphics that it will be connected to or the gt 210.

I have a Coolermaster b600 - 600W powering an i5 4670k stock speed and a gtx 960 windforce x2 OC. Will it be able to power up on the same time a gt 210 ?

I want to install an old gt 210 to my current system so I can run a second monitor without affecting the rest of my system, but since I have an i5-4670k it can only utilize x16 at most, so x8 for gtx 960 and x8 for gt210...

Will a GTX 960 have any problems running at x8 instead of x16 (The PCI-E is gen 3) ?
