Hey all, I've got a pretty straight forward question that probably doesn't have a straight forward answer. I built my current desktop way back in late 2010. The bones of the rig are:
Intel i7 960 @ stock
ASUS Sabertooth X58
12 gb G.Skill Triple Channel DDR3 RAM
ASUS GTX460 1GB TOP Edition
Obviously outdated stuff, but I've focused mostly on that old video card. It feels like it's my single biggest bottleneck. I'm not looking to game in 4k or anything, but I would like to have the ability to play modern games without dropping another $800-1200 on an entirely new desktop.
How feasible is it to just drop in a GTX 1060 or 1660 and extend the life of this rig a bit more?
