I know it's got an i5-4570 in it and that lines right up with my old GTX 970 I've held onto release date wise. Stick some DDR3, a new cooler (Cooler Master Hyper 212 for authenticity), and new thermal paste in there and you're pogging out in Splinter Cell: Blacklist or Assassin's Creed IV or whatever else we were playing in 2013

Trying out Nobaru, but jellyfin playback is periodically stuttering so far. I did swap out the card to a RX5700 or 5600 that I picked up used. Nvidia didn't want to play well with low refresh rate on the TV. I might be moving it back to Fedora or mint if I can't work the kinks out. It pulls double duty of being a steam box too.

Actual ability of the rig is perfectly adequate, I don't really go for AAA games now days. I have another system running an i5 4460 without GPU that runs my UnRAID server.
