you definitely have that idea but it still doesn’t seem worth it unless you just upgrade to an i5/i7 and improve the GPU setup. A better GPU PSU upgrade works fine if needed, as long as you’re careful and opt for a new unit around 750w (~50$) instead of a used one near 750/850w. That should handle newer cards like the 3080 easily. Budget-wise, you can usually find an old Polaris 70 or 80 card for about 30-40$, or an 8GB version for roughly 50$. These perform similarly to a GTX 1060 but will be significantly better than a GT730. If someone is after a cheap display adapter, power consumption can drop to around 100w with an undervolted clock of .86v and ~1100mAh. What I saw was for an RX 580 2048sp 8GB it’s pretty much superior to a GT730, though the latter might still sell for around 10$ if someone is looking for a budget display adapter.

Join the discussions! It seems some users have managed to do it successfully https://www.dell.com/community/en/conver...a8deba67d7 But whether that’s a good idea is unclear. The verdict is probably no. Modern software won’t run smoothly at all. Even basic web browsing might feel sluggish.

I'm based in Pakistan and my money isn't great. I don't need AAA titles; I just want Valorant to run smoothly at 80+ FPS without stutters during intense moments.
