  • Oh for sure! It’s better than a nvidia 1060 ti and i also have one and it’s working without issues. Just make sure that the drivers are up to date and that you don’t have duplicate drivers.

    Edit: If he decides to get the 6600 a higher grade PSU is probably better because the GPU sometimes spikes and it can shut down the PC if the PSU can’t handle it.




  • Make sure your PSU can handle the total watts your parts will use. You might want to check how many watts the GPU and CPU use on average. Gold or plat is better than bronze because the PSU will be able to take a sudden spike in power without turning off. Make sure you update your motherboard, especially if you get an AMD GPU.

    Edit: your PSU will handle the parts you have, might want to get silver grade PSU but bronze is fine. To update the motherboard it’s just downloading the bios update and installing it via usb in the BIOS menu. Usually you just hammer F2 to get into the BIOS menu, but if it isn’t that key then the splash screen should say how to get to it in one of the corners of the screen.







  • For the most part it works really well! 90% of games on steam work without any hassle and the 10% with errors have workarounds. It’s not perfect but it’s definitely getting better as time goes on, especially with more anticheats having compatibility with linux than 5 years ago. When it comes to standalone games, it can be a mixed bag because sometimes it works perfectly and other times it doesn’t, but launchers like lutris help get the games that don’t work run decently. When it comes to emulators, they work really well, sometimes better than running them on windows, but keep in mind where you’re getting them. I have less issues overall with the flatpack variants of emulators.
