That's literally all the components I wanted to upgrade: RAM, hard drive, and graphics

2020-12-17 06:21:37 UTC  

Yep 😄

2020-12-17 06:21:46 UTC  

These are popular for compact simple gaming pcs

2020-12-17 06:22:18 UTC  

And I obviously added a PCIE chip so I don't run a Ethernet cable through the house

2020-12-17 06:22:44 UTC  

looks like on this one its behind the GPU slot instead of infront of it unlike the 7010

2020-12-17 06:23:00 UTC  

which is a GOOD thing so the gpu doesnt block one of your slots unlike on the 7010

2020-12-17 06:24:13 UTC  

actually, wait it doesnt look like these 1050 ti or 1650 would fit

2020-12-17 06:24:22 UTC  

it needs a SINGLE slot, LOW profile video card

2020-12-17 06:24:32 UTC  

thats pretty limited, but there are still options

2020-12-17 06:24:56 UTC  

Rip, was just about to ask which you recommend

2020-12-17 06:24:58 UTC  

Cheapest upgrade card would be a Dell Radeon Hd 7570 on the used market

2020-12-17 06:25:23 UTC  

what games do you plan to run on it?

2020-12-17 06:27:12 UTC  

This would be the fastest you can currently put in it, unless nvidia or amd comes out with something new in this size

2020-12-17 06:27:29 UTC  

To be honest.. I realized as soon as I bought it that what I wanted to do wasn't going to happen with this one; which was basically running things like Saints Row or Halo on it

2020-12-17 06:27:51 UTC  

Which saints row games

2020-12-17 06:27:56 UTC  

2 won't run good on anything XD

2020-12-17 06:28:01 UTC  

its a very bad port

2020-12-17 06:28:09 UTC  

Oh I'm aware

2020-12-17 06:28:23 UTC  

Which is a shame because 2 is arguably the best

2020-12-17 06:28:32 UTC  

Definitly

2020-12-17 06:28:51 UTC  

I loved everything that wasn't Gat out of Hell

2020-12-17 06:29:03 UTC  

The 7570 can scrap by in saints row 4 from my experience, 720 low settings, but i would definitly reccomend the GT 1030 for the newer ones

2020-12-17 06:29:55 UTC  

funnily enough the gt 1030 is cheaper new than it is used, so don't bother going used for the gt 1030 if you get it

2020-12-17 06:31:23 UTC  

Would the GT 1030 be able to run Saints Row 4: Re-elected specifically? I know with that one the graphics had better resolution than standard SR 4

2020-12-17 06:31:44 UTC  

And if so, is it safe to assume I could run the others?

2020-12-17 06:31:49 UTC  

what cpu are you running, some kind of i5/i7?

2020-12-17 06:32:17 UTC  

I _think_ i7, but I could be wrong

2020-12-17 06:32:48 UTC  

idk if this is the re-elected, but it runs a 1080p high settings! so unless re-elected is 100x more demanding you should be good

2020-12-17 06:38:44 UTC  

What I'd truly like to do is essentially port my Xbox data to PC. I got rid of Xbox because I hated the constant changing layouts and the move towards making Gamepass as the online subscription, but I played it since 2007. I'm now curious as to whether this same setup I'm contemplating with here (that apparently can run SR4) would run other games like Halo MCC. I doubt it, but I guess it's worth asking

2020-12-17 06:39:34 UTC  

🙂

2020-12-17 06:39:50 UTC  

I don't think xbox saves go to pc tho

2020-12-17 06:40:27 UTC  

Seems to run pretty darn good

2020-12-17 06:40:53 UTC  

And your pc would run it better than this since their cpu is weaker than yours

2020-12-17 06:44:01 UTC  

This two games are very well optimized, which is great for a gpu like this

2020-12-17 06:44:35 UTC  

I think they've made the cross platform transfer a thing.. Or at least have the PC run as if it were an Xbox

2020-12-17 06:44:47 UTC  

Maybe I'm not informed enough on it

2020-12-17 06:45:09 UTC  

I mean halo probably could have it, cause its by microsoft but idk about saints row
