I am building a new computer with this spec:

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-B250M-D3H B250

PSU: Corsair CP-9020097-UK 550 Watts

RAM: Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 - 16GB

HD:
SanDisk SSD PLUS 120 GB + WD Blue 1TB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM

CPU: Intel Core i5-7600K 3.8 GHz QuadCore 6 MB


I shall buy a GTX 1060 3GB in a month or so, when I get paid.

I have an old GTS 250 1GB laying around (I know its about 7ish years old :wahoo:). Is the GTS 250 completely useless in this build as I imagine it will create such a huge bottleneck, and should I just use the Intel® HD Graphics 630 until I can upgrade?
 
Solution
The gts 250 is pretty useless, and yes, the intel hd 630 may actually outperform it. Also, if you haven't built it yet and you're on a budget, I'd suggest downgrading to i5 7500 or i5 7400 and getting the gtx 1060 6gb instead of the gtx 1060 3gb. The extra 3gb vram will help at 1080p, which I presume is the resolution you are playing at.
