A few years ago I built a glorified home server PC, I’m considering dropping a decent video card into it and trying to use it hooked up to a TV as a Linux running Steam machine-esque system, but I’m not sure if it’s worth it based on the other specs. I know the CPU in particular could use an upgrade, but as is should I bother dropping something like an RTX 5070 in it?
You will be CPU bottlenecked with that CPU and a RTX 5070. Which is fine if you intend to upgrade the CPU later
Given current economic realities I’m now thinking of getting an RTX 3060 now and keeping the rest as is, then in a couple years if we defeat SkyNet maybe I can upgrade both.
