My PC is as old as the ark - I7 Gen2 something with SSD drives and 16GB DDR3. The GPU died at one stage and I replaced it with a 710 as its only function was hosting PLEX which is does perfectly - and the odd school printing project.
My 6 year old son now wants to play games. Cool I will just get a new rig. Wow did I lose touch with PC prices. New PC is not going to happen now. Can I just get a new GPU for now and see how it performs ?
Motherboard has PCI express Gen3.
Do I get a secondhand 1080Ti and pray it hasn't been mined to the moon or back or get this: XFX Radeon RX 6600 Speedster SWFT 210 Core RX-66XL8LFDQ 8GB GDDR6 128-bit PCI-E 4.0 Desktop Graphics Card - Wootware RX 6600@ R6.8k from Wootware?
I heard I should stay clear of PClinkcomputers and Evetech is this still the case ?
He also wants a coloured KB and Mouse - R2k keyboards and R2k mouse's - Im still in disbelieve. Ive never felt this old.
