Hi. Back in 2018 I built a HTPC and I'm now looking to upgrade to a gaming PC to be used on a 4k TV via an AV amp.
Specs from 2018:
AMD Ryzen 5 2400G
Noctua NH L9x65 SE-AM4
MSI B450M Mortar Micro ATX Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance 2 x 8GB LPX 3000MHz
Crucial MX500 500GB SSD
be quiet! Straight Power 11 450W
Silverstone ML04
As this PC was just doing internet, mp3s and watching HD media it was all OK just with the Ryzen 5 and didn't need a graphics card. 4K gaming with decent performance obviously will and I know barely nothing about graphics cards.
The first thing I really need to understand is if a suitable graphics card will fit inside the case:
As I'm going to make a media centre for under the telly with space for everything then I can't get started on it's design until I know if I can use my existing case of if I will need something bigger.
Usually I love researching all this kind of stuff myself, but life is super busy at the mo and I'm forever drowned in a never ending to do list, so it would be helpful to get some advice re what components of my 2018 build will be fine to keep and what I should be looking to upgrade and what those upgrades should be
Thanks
