[SOLVED] Converting PC to gaming PC Help

[schantzy]

I have a budget PC, a Dell Inspiron 3470, and the only game I play on my PC is Euro Truck Simulator 2. My computer can run it, but not very well. I'm not the best with computers, does anyone know what I can fix/buy to make my computer able to run this game?
Thanks

Your major limitation is going to be finding a GPU that will fit that form factor.
You will need a half height/mini card. Likely something along the lines of a 750ti will be the best you could find, but certainly could research that. Even with that, it would highly surpass the onboard video.

From what I see you got an 9th gen CPU's
Could you see what on CPUz says https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html

Slim size PCs are not very up-gradable due to small size weak power supplies and limited space for video cards. You may want to keep that in mind when buying your next prebuilt PC.

That system looks to have a free PCIe slot, and I'm guessing a 240 watt power supply. An nVidia 1030 small form card may work OK there, although you are limited here since the cost to price of the cards is not very good https://www.newegg.com/msi-geforce-...=gt 1030&cm_re=gt_1030-_-14-137-139-_-Product

Issue is your small case and weak power supply, and keep in mind the new video cards only have digital outputs so if your monitor only has VGA, you will need a DP to VGA adapter as well unless one is in the box.
