I do. It's mostly micro services and everything is running .net 6+ at this point. In the beginning I did have to find a few work arounds and tweak some stuff, but it's been a while since I've run into that kinda thing. Everything we make is deployed on linux in production.

Been a dotnet developer exclusively on Linux for around 7 years now and I've never wanted to go back. Since .net core and Rider windows doesn't really have anything to offer for me. It's different if you're stuck on .net framework of course.

Thank you everyone for the the input!

I did like a couple of people suggested and played Fortnite with the performance monitor open. I was running the game in the performance mode, so the graphics were all the way down. It seems like the biggest bottleneck was actually the CPU which was running at around 90%, the GPU was running around 45%.

Based on these results and the comments here it doesn't really seem worth it to use this old computer. Will need to do some research on used parts and see what I can find in my area. Thanks again for the help!

I am trying to build a computer which should be able to run games like Minecraft, Fortnite and CSGO. I have an old computer, but it gets pretty choppy running Fortnite. I was hoping that I could just switch out the graphics card with something like a Radeon RX 6600 and that would be enough.

Specs of the old computer

  • CPU - Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4 GHz Quad-Core Processor
  • Motherboard - ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
  • Memory - Corsair Vengeance 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR3-1600 CL9 Memory
  • Storage - Crucial M4 128 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
  • Video Card - Asus HD7850-DC2-2GD5-V2 Radeon HD 7850 2 GB Video Card
  • Case - Cooler Master CM690 II Advanced ATX Mid Tower Case
  • Power Supply - Corsair TX650 V2 650 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

Would that work? Is there anything else I would need to switch out? The budget is fairly small which is why I am trying to re-use this old computer.

Any help is much appreciated!
