I have a vostro 430, I bought it last week from craigslist, its a pretty decent working computer and its basically brand new but it lags horribly when playing games like CSGO, it has a GeForce 220 though. As of right now I found out a GeForce 650 Ti will work with this motherboard but I dont know if the 650 is powerful enough. I want this PC to be turned from a old work computer into a mini gaming PC. I was wondering, would the motherboard allow anything like a GeForce 1050 Ti? I know the PSU needs to be upgraded, so if it is possible to having it work how many watts should the power supply be. I also need a new CPU so Knowing the CPU upgrade ability would be great too. I rather keep this computer instead of buying a new one with the money ill spend on parts, I bought the computer for fairly cheap and upgrading the PC is cheaper than buying a whole new one. And if in any case it doesn't work out I could still use the parts for a custom build.
Thanks
