A little background Info
I have been away from gaming for around ~5 years. I have some free time on my hands and as such would like to get back to gaming. i was briefly considering a PS4 console, but decided to drop it for now.
I have a recently assembled system.I didn't think It would be used for gaming, But now that I have it, I don't really see why I don't just add a graphics card to it and be done with it.
Was looking at 1050 Tis. I am hoping to replace the monitor , sometime down the line and as such should I need to factor in Free Sync and its equivalent?
Looking for a future proof (3-4 years) card.I don't need to run games at max settings and again 1050s aren't the card to do that.I have a huge back log of old games from 2011(Skyrim, GTA 5) to get through and I am prolly not going to start any new title soon, except mebbe buying Overwatch
Any advice on specific models and brands?
