Everyone know my laptop specs so I decided to get a gtx 1050 it with an exp GDC adapter and an EVGA 500 watt.


Is that good enough for my laptop or no?
Will it work and is that good?

A laptop is never recommended for playing
videogames, the unique advice I could give you is to buy a tower computer.

About specs don't ask me, I don't understand :lol:

Buy a new PC, otherwise this old CPU will bottleneck your new GPU.

There are reasonable gaming laptops nowadays, but the mobility comes at a price premium, of course.

Uhm, I don't?

All I know is, a laptop is not suited for gaming.

Some say, I'm addicted to ETS2. But then I say. No, it's ProMods, it's a way of life.

You want a game map?
You get a game map! (ETS2 (WIP))

Better buy a desktop computer. About the specs, I have:

Intel i5 6400
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070
NOX 750W
Asus B250-Plus
FuryX 2x8GB 2133Mhz
Seagate 500GB + Toshiba 2TB

But it's too overkill. If you want to go cheaper, Maybe consider getting something along the lines of a 1050Ti or a 1060 with 3GB of VRAM, and you don't need that PSU (through it is cheap). Motherboard you can also get an ASUS H110-PLUS. You also don't need 16GB of RAM, 8GB are enough... You don't need 2.5TB too, you can live with 500GB. If you are a gamer and have lots of games, try to look at a 1TB hard drive or even 2TB (also, I have 2.5TB, but I have my computer full already and I'm considering to buy a new hard drive). That's it.

I made a PC for you in PCPartPicker, assuming you already have periphals:

I have a laptop and it's pretty good for gaming... although the only games I really play are ETS2 and Cities: Skylines :lol:

How? A titan V is with 3,500 usd which means 64,000 egp. I can get an gtx 1050. But let me ask my parents.
