Hi all,
I have a Gateway DX4870-UR11P that I'd like to upgrade so that my son can get better performance for gaming. He's only 10 so his normal rotation of games isn't bleeding edge - basically it's just Fortnite, Roblox, Minecraft, etc.
Here's the link to my current setup: https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16883113217
For those that don't want to click through, here are the high level specs:
I'm generally comfortable cracking open the case and doing basic upgrades so I'm looking for recommendations on a video card upgrade that I could drop in without triggering a lot of other upgrades (power supply, fans, case, etc). I don't really have a budget in mind but I assume my needs will keep it at a somewhat reasonable level.
Happy to attempt to answer questions on anything I left out. Thanks in advance for the help!
