Hello Community--
Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: This Week
Budget Range: (e.g.: 300-400) $300-400
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Only gaming & surfing
Are you buying a monitor: Yes / No --NO
Parts to Upgrade: (e.g.: CPU, mobo, RAM) Upgrading Video Card from GTX 1050 to GTX 1660Ti and possibly RAM --How would I find out my power supply number on my computer?
Do you need to buy OS: Yes / No
Please note that if you're using an OEM license of Windows, you will need a new one when buying a new motherboard. NO
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: (e.g.: newegg.com, ncix.com -- to show us selection & pricing) New Egg is fine
Location: City, State/Region, Country - we need to know where these parts are being assembled and whether there are good store-only deals available--Tucson, Arizona
Parts Preferences: by brand or type (e.g.: I would like to upgrade to Intel CPU) Nividia is preferred
Overclocking: Yes / No / Maybe--No--Not sure what that is to be candid
SLI or Crossfire: Yes / No / Maybe--Don't know what that is
Your Monitor Resolution: (e.g.: 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1440x900, 1600x1200, 1680x1050, 1920x1080, 1920x1200 or if you're upgrading please state what you'd want to get) My monitors are 1920x1080 but using triple monitors for Iracing and X Plane 11 so actually 5760 x 1080
Additional Comments: (e.g.: Need to have a window and lots of bling, I would like a quiet PC. Please also list specific software or games you're using) I am looking to upgrade this video card and perhaps RAM if that is possible going to 16 MB in my machine.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: (e.g. I'm having trouble running game X or my PSU broke) I need more Video Card to run the 3 monitors and X Plane. Minimum & Recommended specs are as follows:
Processor-AMD A12-9800 Radeon R, 12 Compute Cores 4C+8G 3.80GHz
RAM 12.0 GB
Windows 10 Home 64 bit
Nividia Geoforce GTX 1050
PCI Express x8 Gen 3
My List needed is this at the present time unless my machine will not accept the size in the slot.
MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Ti DirectX 12 GTX 1660 TI GAMING X 6G 6GB 192-Bit GDDR6 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card
Thanks.
