Hi all,
This is my first ever PC build and thought this would be the best place to get some much needed advice!
I'm currently using a HP AB032TX laptop and was planning to revive my old i5 2320 to finally build a decent gaming rig. The only parts I have are the processor and the motherboard (details below).
I'm also thinking of getting a 1660 Super to future proof my GPU for when I inevitably upgrade the CPU to something better. I know the processor will heavily bottleneck the GPU but since I'm planning to upgrade the CPU in 6 months, I thought this would be the best thing to do. Thoughts?
Thanks for your help!
