Upgrade old system Or Buy a new system.

[KrebnacX]

Hi, I have a really old pc and I want to make a budget system from it. I have msi z68ma-g45 mother board and all other parts. I wonder if I can make a system from this motherboard by buying some used parts. I think I can buy a used i7 3770 and then buy a new graphic card. However I don't know if it can work well or not. Can a system with z68ma g45, i7 3770 and a new graphic card work properly? Or Should I skip that and try to build a new 1151 system. I don't have lots of money for a new system and I already have a system, so this will be second pc.

Well what is your budget? I am not too fond of user computer parts, because you never know. But what type of GPU are you looking to get? What is your budget? If you had to build a new system, what budget are we looking at? Also, what type of quality are you aiming for?

If you already have any i3 or better yet i5 CPU in there, just slap in a GTX1060 or an RX480 and go to town.
Those would be in the 200-250 range.
Or a RX470 or 1050Ti if you have to go cheaper.

But in general as long as you have an i3 or better in there the system will be plenty good with just a decent current generation GPU.
