So without waffling to much ,we are on a tight budget ,myself and the Mrs often play Borderlands 3 in co op ,on our work pc's in our home office set up ,our young daughter wants to join us but we didn't have another pc ,so my brother donated a old rig which comprised Asus P6T ,i7 -920 @ 2.67ghz ,6gb ram (3x2), MSI GTX 970 ,corsair 650w PSU ,Windows 10 64 ,bought a cheap case to put it in ,trouble is the PC keeps randomly shutting down ,to date I have checked all drivers ,re installed windows ,managed to find 3 more matching sticks of RAM so now 12gb ,seemed to work without shutting down after removing and resetting RAM ,but now does it randomly after maybe a whole day of running , but biggest problem is it just wont run B3 ,even stuttering badly while loading ,so is it just it's not capable and motherboard ,CPU are not up to it ,I believe Graphics card should be as one of work PC's is only 1050ti and runs fine medium settings. Obviously I don't want to persist with a PC not capable.
Now a curve ball ,my brother who's not well ,wont waffle but had to move gave me a brand new motherboard which is a £220-£279 ,ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus (Wi-Fi) ATX Motherboard,ddr4 ,he changed his mind and never used it ,now we haven't got the budget to build that one up but I am looking at the idea I could sell it and buy a budget AMD set up comprising something like a Gigabyte B450M S2H ,Ryzen 5 3600 find suitable Ram and use the rest of what I have (hopefully not PSU causing shutting down) ,other than that waiting a bit and buying a cheap but capable system that can manage to play what we want.
