I'm in the process of building/bench testing a PC to replace one dating back + - five years.
Brief hardware components:
-ASUS TUF Z390 + Gaming w/wifi
-Intel i5 9600k 3.6Ghz
-Samsung 970 EVO 500Gb.
-16 Gb Memory
-650 W PS
-GPU ......undecided. Temporarily using an EVGA GTX 1050 Ti SC new never used. It was free.
My question is since I'm not a gamer, mainly Photoshop, internet, email and 3-5 other tabs open.
How low on the rung of GPU's can I go to put a decent GPU card to handle my current needs.
The budget is $225 and that's a stretch.
Anything above the built-in motherboard video and the EVGA 1050 Ti I'm sure would be an improvement.
I'm using two monitors mainly so I can have Photoshop running on one and mail and internet on the other.
Many thanks to those who give me their opinion on this nagging question I've been pondering on.
