Wish me luck. I’m a little unsure if it’ll work well. I have an ancient GPU (Nvidia GTX 970) and hope it’ll be compatable.
Processor AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Six-Core (12 CPUs) Processor 3.20 GHz
Installed RAM 32.0 GB
Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (4 GB) (actually 3.5GB due to hardware defect)
BaseBoard Manufacturer ASRock
BaseBoard Product AB350 Pro4
This system is getting old; nearly a decade here. Pretty soon I have to start thinking about upgrading. At a minimum, I should try and upgrade the video card when I can.

Something like this?
Make sure your power supply can handle the potential increase edit: this one seems to have a TDP lower than your old card, and that you have the correct external power cables (1x8 in this case. Edit: your old seems to use 2x6, so there is a difference here)
Good info. I appreciate it. I’ll double check my PSU and make sure I have a 1x8 connector.
Yeah my cables are 1x6+2 connectors so that should work.
Same things as Edie said apply, but check out the RX 9060 XT. It’s the new “budget” card that just came out from AMD. It should be significantly faster because it’s 4 years newer than the one you linked and there’s a few near that price point or just a bit more if you’re buying new right away.
