I had a Cybertron Borg - Q I bought as a complete on Amazon in 2014

https://www.amazon.com/CybertronPC-Borg-Q-Gaming-Desktop-Discontinued/dp/B00GFG1B1A


I'm now taking it out of the wood work and upgrading everything.
Here is my new computer: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/







Everything missing in between that I have not selected in the pcpartpicker is not upgraded, and came stock with that cybertron


So what do you think? What graphics settings do you think I can play with this?

I've never played above "low" or "medium" with more then 50 fps for lets say, World of Warcraft.

Will I be able to play games with high graphic settings // edit videos // stream?


Any advice or feedback would be amazing. Thanks guys (:

I agree. Something like this...

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/x7s8TW/msi-geforce-gtx-1050-ti-4gb-video-card-gtx-1050-ti-4gt-oc


Also you can get a Win 10 license off ebay for likke $5.

Then get the Windows 10 ISO for free, here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10



/e In case you NEED one of ther shorter GTX 1050 Ti's there are a few of those here: https://pcpartpicker.com/products/video-card/#c=380&sort=price&page=1

Thank you guys!!! I forgot to mention that I already have Windows 10 on my old CPU, and just transferring it over.


Should I sell the 1050 and get the Ti? Should I run 2 video cards if I can? lmk (:

No do not go SLI. That shit is just not worth it today, I had 2x 970 SLI and the support got worse and worse.
Only reason one should go SLI, if there simply isn't a better card. So a GTX 1080ti currently or Titan Volta if you are insanely rich.

Don't sell the 1050 if you already have it. The new series gets announced tomorrow.
Here you have the time: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/

You should be able to return the 1050 if you just bought it. Especially if it came from a place like Newegg or Amazon.

Also when you want to link a build at pcpartpicker, you don't use the URL at the top center... you use the one just a bit lower down and on the left side. It will always end in something like this: b5e6h6

ty so much guys.

The 1050 2gb was only returnable for a month, I bought it back in June and am just now building a PC so that window has closed.

The 1050 I think will do for now, I'm excited for the launch! Regarding the launch, if there's any good budget video card thats launched (Under $2-300) then pls link here!

I've had SLI 980's And 1080's, Ive had issues with maybe 5% of games I've played. Most of the issues, were games like PUBG & etc. that are still in early access, And usually the fix is just disable one card, Or add custom sli bits to the profile.

I agree there's no point to SLI lower tier cards, But there is a reason for SLI & It's not bad to work with.
