Question q9550 in 2019?

[Rendz_Devils]

I have c2q q9550, using ga p45 plus 4x2gb ddr2 total 8gb ram.
i only use it for microsoft office use.
i can ask 750ti 4gb for free from my uncle shop.
the question is that still worth for gaming 768p 60fps @High setting?

because i will give the rig to my younger brother (14yo).
maybe i can grab 1050 2gb if i strongly ask my uncle, still worth it?\

is there any decent vga for q9550 gaming @768p medium-high setting 60fps?

I have a similar system myself Q9400/8GB/GT730 and it struggles to keep up with Call of Duty at low resolution.
Even with 750TI it will not be much of a gaming machines.
Regarding changing to a 1050ti video card I would be more worried that it would not even function on such an older motherboard.
Why? because the GTX 10xx series video card normally require UEFI (graphical bios) instead of (Normal) Bios.
That will be your test in reality and likely the downfall of your idea of using this computer as a gaming machine.
It is a great office computer (I use mine everyday) but for gaming its just not kept up with "better technology"

thanks for answering my post again, you are really huge help.
i think i'll toss 750 ti to it, and some very light gaming for my brother.
so that he can also learn about pc.

Once again,
Thank you very much.

Plus, GTX 1050 ti supports HEVC which allows you to watch 4K, HEVC encoded videos.
