Very basic set up

[JLPhotos83]

Good afternoon everyone,

I mainly do photo and video editing with a little bit of gaming. My old Intel i5 gave up so just got a big standard tower. My old desktop had a graphics card but this one doesn’t.

ok?

Would it be worth in putting my old graphic in my new tower?

 

[throwaway4372]

what graphics card is it?
what power supply does your new system have?

It is a standard PSU. My old system had a EVGA 600w Bronze with a MSI GeForce GTX 970 but my new cpu is a AMD which i know little about compared to my older i5-4460

I have a Ryzen 7 5700G
8GB DDR 4 RAM

No need for a graphics card unless you are playing modern games. 8GB of ram is low though. 16GB would be better as the 5700G uses the ram you already have for graphics. A graphics card has its own ram called Vram

You should reuse your gtx 970 and add 8 gb of memory.
