This is my dad's old PC that he barely used anymore, I borrowed it for post-graduate studies since my laptop died on December last year.

I need to know if it's even possible to upgrade further from this, I have all PCIe x1 slots occupied—NVMe to PCIe x1 slot adapter as my boot drive on the top, and a small 2.4ghz WiFi card at the bottom.

I plan to use it for a bit of gaming alongside my studies, I mainly play Source Engine (GMod and TF2) and Unity games (BR5HD and BR6, among others).

PC Hardware Specs:

- Intel i3-2120

- Inno3D Nvidia GT 430 2gb (OC'd to 820mhz Core clock and 620mhz Memory clock)

- 8gb 1333mhz Team Group Elite Silver RAM.

- 256 NVMe SSD boot drive connected via PCIe x1

- 1TB WD Blue HDD

- Gigabyte GA-H61M-DS2 Rev. 1.2 Motherboard (non-UEFI)

P.S. I'm using Clover v4961 to boot into my NVMe drive, I didn't flash my BIOS and haven't made any BIOS-level tweaks yet.

My specs: gt 710 i5 3rd 8gb ram ddr3

Saw an old lady tossing it to the junkyard, saying it won't turn on. She gave it to me after i asked nicely

Turns out it only has dead RAM, it boots normally after i toss 16GB on it, and a new SSD to make it zip

Which card can this PSU works with ? I've worked with a normal PC before, but not prebuilt. TIA

Specs:
Graphics card: gtx 1650 super
Processor: i5 10400f
Ram: 16gb ddr4 (dual channel 3200 clock speed but the motherboard limits it to 2900 or something around that)
Power supply: stock 400w from hp
Storage: two 1tb sata ssd and one NVME kioxia 480gb ssd
(Miscellaneous keyboard is a Lenovo sk8815 and my Mouse is a Logitech performance mx? And my headphones are Jabra evolve2 65 with the charging dock)

Specs:

• GPU: NVIDIA MX450 2GB
• CPU: i7-11850H
• RAM: 16 GB

60 FPS with Lossless Scaling run on the Intel UHD 630

Had to use mods to lower graphics settings less than normally possible.

I think I can still crank the settings a bit higher.

after a windows 11 update LS is not

recognizing my 1060 3 gb used the DDU

then installed the latest driver and then my

3060 was not recognized, weird stuff , now

im in square one, no video output on my

1060 ...

So I got giving a barebones HP Desktop Pro A300 G3 with its dmi data missing in bios. Managed to snag a Ryzen 3200g and 16gb tforce vulan ram for 30 quid! Having to use a 60gb SSD (Ubuntu) and a new condition and really low usage 1tb HDD that's only 5400rpm. The power supply is 180w gold plus so I may have to drop the ctdp down of the ryzen to say 35 or 45w just so I have safety heard room.

I already had internal WiFi and the rx550 so got it all set up and going.

People going to ask why I'm using a rx550 with the Ryzen having vega 8, its because I cannot use xmp and HP board has capped the ram at its jdec speeds so the rx550 has been shot in.

Even with a messed up bios it works really well for what I use it for and it really quite. Can play all the games I needed it to and really good at streaming 4k on bedroom TV.

If anyone comes across any am4 office builds, snap them up! This one has really helped me out in a pinch.

SPECS:
Amd radeon r9 m380 2gb
16 gb ram ddr4
Intel core i5 6500

Note: im running windows on my mac to be able to run these games.
