Hello, I am considering buying a new computer since this pc (prebuilt, bought as a whole computer from the shop) is quite old. A worker at a computer store looked at my computer and told me that I am better off buying a new computer. His reasons for this conclusion was that:
So his conclusion was basically that my computer was built in such a way that it is limiting in how much one can customize the hardware setup and therefore it is more efficient (money and time) to just buy a new PC.
My question, before giving up completely on upgrading my darling is:
- Are there any purchasable GPUs that are compatible with my motherboard but significantly better than my current GT 630 that (fits with my current motherboard's pin-connection) I can just simply plug in?
The goal is to be able to play high-res games.
Thanks in advance
- it will be a hassle to find a replacement for my current PSU (300W)
- my motherboard does not have the correct PSU pin connection (differs in cable structure) that the modern GPUs require and that it would be a hassle to work around it with adapters and potentially that there could be a hazard of fire due to my weak system not having the capacity to manage power-hungry high-end components
- current GPU price inflation
