Do you have funds for a new components? Consider an ASUS P8Z77 V Pro with a 2600K—it remains a solid CPU and offers great value. You'll also need DDR3 RAM, which is inexpensive on the used side, so aim for 16GB. The R9 380 provides good performance for under $50 compared to the 1050 Ti. A quality PSU is advised, adding roughly $75. Overall, expect a budget of $200 to $250.

I secured a solid Ryzen configuration right off the bat. I won’t be rebuilding the setup from scratch using what’s already there on my old Dell Inspiron 530S. It’s running Windows 10 flawlessly. I installed 8 GB of DDR2 memory at 800 MHz and plan to add a Core 2 Duo 8600 later for testing Windows Vista and Enterprise. The OEM license key for Windows Vista Business is still valid. Mostly it supports retro games from Sierra Online and a 2006 MMO without any problems. It also includes two SSDs for booting Windows 10 and Vista.
