Hi all,
Firstly, hello everyone. I am new to the forum.
I have a situation which I wanted to get some advice on if I may...
I currently have a desktop pc which I built back in 2017 consisting of an ASUS ROG Maximus ix formula, an intel i7 7700k CPU, an Nvidia gtx1060 3gb GPU, 32gb of ram and a 450w vs corsair PSU.
I stopped using the computer about two years ago....but more recently I have been debating whether or not it is 'worth' upgrading the graphics card. This on the basis to start playing games on it again....something like the latest flight simulator offering as an example.
I am fairly happy with the other components given its age and still feel that it is a relatively ok machine....at least in my opinion
I appreciate that i will likely need to upgrade my PSU too, but is it ultimately worth doing or am I fighting a lost cause?
If it would be of cost benefit to upgrade.....which can I upgrade to?
Any help welcome.
Regards,
Jon
