Hi,
i have my PC with
Core 2 Quad Q9500
ASUS GTX 750 TI FML OC
6GB DDR3 1333MHz

should i do this
give Q9500 + ASUS GTX 750 Ti + $90
and get i5-3570 + ZOTAC GTX 950 Low Power + 2GB 1333MHz

my PC will become
i5-3570
Zotac GTX 950 Low Power (consumes 75W and no 6-pin connector)
8GB DDR3 1333MHz
will it be enough to play todays games or should i add $25 more to get the GTX 1050 2GB instead of GTX 950 ?? i think 950 is better cu'z i can overclock it + it has 128 more cuda cores :)
 
Solution
check to see if you PSU has same MB connectors. I believe LENOVO and HP have proprietary MB connections to keep you from doing stuff like this. might want to verify


i'll get the Lenovo ThinkCentre M72e - tower's motherboard it has the i5 2400 on it + my PSU is 320W HP 8000 ELITE's stock. gtx 750 ti 60W + Q9500 95W = 155W
gtx 950 75W + I5 3570 77W = 152W + 1 or 2 W the extra 2GB RAM 154W so basically the PSU will be more free than it is
