Hi Guys, need your advice..

I have a decade old machine lying around which I haven't used in last 4 years.

Asus M4A89GTD PRO/USB3,
AMD phenom ii x6 1090t,
XFX Radeon HD 6770 (1gb)

Just ordered 8gb RAM and SSD.

Q1. Can I play CSGO on above PC?
Q2. Which graphics card can be upgraded? Don't want to change Mobo, Processor.
Q3. If my old graphics card works for CSGO, how much fps, refresh rate I'll get?
 
Solution
Im using a M4A79T Delux asus boardbut it has USB2 instead of 3. running a phenom ii 1090T and 16GB ddr3. I have a RX 590 in it. the CPU is deff bottle necking the CPU. like most games you can tell the cpu is trying its best to keep up thanks to overlays. i think the best GPU choice for it is the HD7970 or 7990. or finding a GTX 780.

Thanks for the info.

By any chance do you know if my current GPU (HD 6770) can handle CSGO on medium settings if not high?

I unfortunately dont know. Best thing would be go to the page to see minimum gpu requirements to see if it meets card requirement or vram requirement first and if it does then start fiddling with game settings from there.
