Found a older computer sitting around and was thinking about upgrading it. it has an Asus P5GC-MX/1333 mobo 1 gig RAM, don't remember the processor at this time, but its 2,00ghz. So, I have a Asus strix 970 sitting around. Is that compatible? and would it be worth it even if it was? Thanks.
 
Solution
Core 2 cpus are going to bottleneck a 970 even if you upgrade to a better cpu. You'd be better off even with a cheap used pc. $150 would get you a pc 2-3 gens newer.
