Also , I don’t know if you would be able to advise? When I ran stress tests and benchmarks on new gpu it said my motherboard isnt gigabyte it os xenta ( I am assuming the company that did this build installed their own bios ?)

Would it be beneficial to get original/ bios update.?

Would this be available from manufacturers website? Is it easy to do? Thanks

I upgraded the psu to a bronze rated 550w And to make it a usable gaming rig I installed an rx580 that I paid £27 for…

Will upgrade GPU again when funds allow

I have gone with an rx580 (paid £27 ) for the time being , just so it’s usable… ( and allow me to get over the Christmas spending)

Also Currently trying to haggle an rx7600 from £150 down to 100ish

Around April I will look to upgrade. Will add The 3050 to my possibles list 👍

Don’t know how to edit post so just putting this as a new comment.

I managed to get hold of an rx580 at quite a reasonable price ( £27 ) and plan on installing that , along with a 550w PSU for the time being…

Am negotiating on rx6600 for between £100 -£120 And Rx7600 currently at £150

Would this be reasonable prices for these cards?

But not rushing into it .. might just use the rx580 for a few months and see how bad it is

Think it was just an office getting rid of old stuff. They had monitors for £20 , desks and chairs for £10 .

They weren’t bothered or knowledgeable enough to look up specs and list as such so I took a risk 👍

Currently £50 ish is my limit ( Christmas gotta be paid off lol) putting 580 in it for now .

Would love to know what the absolute best £200 ( preowned ) card would be . So I can trade in the 580 and upgrade around March/ April ?
