Hey there,
Relative beginner at assembling PC's. Looking to drop a new GPU into an older rig in hopes of getting a FPS bump in a few of the games I have time to play.
Bought the PC in 2012, specs are:
Thinking of picking up a mid-range card (AMD Rx 570 or 580) to get a bit more longevity out it. Is this reasonable? Will it be bottlenecked by my CPU? Can my motherboard handle it? Is there another consideration I'm not realizing? Should I just give up and take my girlfriend out on a date for once in my miserable life?
Any help or suggestions are much appreciated.
