Current setup:
Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64-bit
CPU: Intel Core i7 920 @ 2.67GHz Bloomfield 45nm Technology
RAM: 12.0GB Triple-Channel DDR3 @ 641MHz (8-8-8-20)
Motherboard: ASUSTeK Computer INC. Rampage II Extreme (LGA1366)
Graphics: 2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 (MSI) 27 °C
Storage: 931GB Crucial CT1000MX500SSD1 ATA Device (SATA (SSD))
Optical Drives: PLEXTOR DVDR PX-716A ATA Device
Audio: NVIDIA High Definition Audio
Power Supply : Thermaltake Toughpower 850W
This is for my son's who want to use it for gaming and with Steam.
Yes I realize this is an older system but if I wanted to upgrade the GPU to extend the life what would be a good option for the TV - Sony 55" (1920x1080@60Hz).
I saw that I could upgrade the CPU (Core i7 Extreme Edition 990X ) but just not sure that is really worth it at that point I would rather see if I could use the current parts and upgrade the MB/CPU and use the rest of the parts but for now just thinking maybe GPU.
I saw these mentioned for 1080p
AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Super
Thoughts/opinions? GPU right now around the $300 mark.
