Which do you use more? Get that

Before you go spending money, have you cleaned up software on both devices?

On the iPhone, uninstall all apps you no longer use and clean up your galleries and whatnot.

On the PC, uninstall all the apps you no longer use, defragment the hard drive if using an HDD, clean up startup objects, delete large files you no longer need/use, etc.

i7 2600 is old but still a decent CPU. It is likely slow due ot everything that has piled up in windows. Get an SSD drive and reinsatll windows to that, and you could also get a gtx 1050 or rx460 either would be a BIG improvemenet to your 6570

Then buy a newer phone.

PCIe standards mandate 75 watt power delivery capabilities. Can you please list the model number?

Thank you for making this simple.

The 75 watt mandate has been around since PCIe won the struggle against AGP and other competing slots. I see no reason why a manufacturer would purposely disobey this standard.

In all honesty, I don't see anything that says that you're limited to 35 watts. May I ask where you read/heard this?

I read the spec sheet and while it does say 25 watt maximum for sff, it also states 75 watt maximum for mt (single gpu.) I have never heard of a pci slot at anything less than 75 watt, since it is the standard
