Hey, your setup looks pretty solid with that high RAM and decent GPU. You're considering the NVIDIA GT1030 for around $90. Running BDO at a low preset with 768p should work fine. Your system meets the minimum requirements for Black Desert Online. What do you think?

Choose your own path—skip the GT 1030 if possible. The GTX 750 Ti usually runs smoother and offers better value, especially when you buy it secondhand.

It seems you're comparing prices for a second-hand GTX 750 Ti and a new GT 1030, noting they're around $90 to $100 each.

Even when prices are nearly identical, the 750 Ti remains quicker, which is why I still suggest it. The GT 1030 is unfortunately prohibitively costly. However, I advise trying Black Desert Online first, adjusting for your system configuration. If performance falls short, think about upgrading.

In reality, my power isn't more secure. It's still a rampage-everest setup at 300W. The 750Ti needs around 60W TDP while the GT1030 only requires 30W. I believe my PSU can't handle the GTX 750 Ti. My GPU performance is now much lower compared to the GT1030—only 30-40 FPS in CS:GO, whereas the Q9400+GT1030 delivers 60+ FPS at 4:3 1024x768 with a very low preset. Take a look at this (1024x768 low preset—it's exactly what I'm seeing).
