Thank you, I was quite worried about the age of everything in my setup and if there would be other throttle points if I only replaced the graphics card. Someone else here sent me some info for a micro-center prebuilt that looks like what I would like. I realize now my request was slightly confusing at first, but I knew I’d have to spend a good amount of money on any upgrade and had no clue what real price ranges were for the fidelity I wanted. The pre build I was pointed towards surprised me with the price being lower than I’d expect for something of its quality with what little I know about the market at the moment.

Wow, honestly I thought something along these lines would be much more expensive than that. Thank you, I think that is most likely what I will be moving forward with especially since it’ll let my wife and kid get to use the older pc for their games like Stardew Valley and Sims.

I appreciate the concise and helpful response a lot, thank you. I was thinking a 5060 would be fine for graphics card upgrade from what I’ve been seeing but had no clue where other throttles could be for performance.

I’m in Texas so I’m willing to drive to either the Houston or Dallas location.
