Hello! This is my first post here. I'm excited to find such a dedicated group focused on SFF.
I have a HP Compaq Pro 6300 with 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD. It has a Core i5 3470 3.2 GHz CPU. If needed I could upgrade it to 32 GB of RAM but at this point I don't think that's necessary.
I'm looking for a graphics card for this computer to make it into a basic gaming box for a friend who could use a positive bump in his life after some repeated hard luck. He's a casual gamer and I know this will help him if I can give this to him but I want it to actually be worth using as a basic gaming box. I don't need it running at 1440 or anything crazy but if I can put a card in that will let it run some of the current games at 1080p with good performance it would make a big positive impact on his day to day. Hard to watch a good friend struggle with bad luck over and over so I would really like to amke this work. This is what I've seen so far after a bit of looking but I'm completely open to suggestions.
I don't have any issues with used or refurbished if I can get it.
Thanks!
