howdy,
Tek ill get that done today.
i have been sick as hell but feel better now, i got ahold of dell biz side and asked them what was the most up to date card i can put in my system, they cked and and said any card from the gtx1080 down so right now i am fighting with my self over a gtx 970 and the 1070 do to cost because i also want go to triple channel ram as well.
so what im going todo get a card to get this thing up and running, if i get the 970 ill have to wait till next month to get the 1070 when i start getting my retirement then im going to try to get a little newer processor update this thing a little to lesson the bottle i would have with the 1070, then i going to start building a new system then give this system to the wife when the new system is done.....
so its going to take a little longer but i will be ready for bf v and insug sand strom. been sneeking on my sons system and have been playing sand storm which i like and they are just getting team death match set up.
thank you for the warm welcome back.

howdy
ok I got a gtx260 for a cheap back up and I also went with the gtx1060 for now but the 1060 needs more ram then what I have to run good. well last night I went to fire up the pc and all it would do is bring up a windows splash screen and lock up,did a advance system test found that the HD self test failed, so after 10 years my Seagate died so I am on the hunt for a replacement.
so what I am going to do is get HD update ram and the cmos battery and with luck i'll be back up and running again. knock on wood. the only thing is the 260 and 1060 use a 6 pin for power but 260 also use's the 6 pin but it also has a red and black wire with a 2 pin that connects to the side of the card and the 1060 has no place to plug the 2 pin into so I need to find out if this is going to be a problem I have to work out.
see ya soon I hope lol
