Hello everyone,
I have an Alienware X51 computer that I got back in 2012. It was great for what I needed it for, but I ended up static shocking my graphics card while cleaning it (oops!) and I pretty much retired it because a screw got stripped and was basically stuck in the tower (I was too dumb to get it out). Also, I couldn't afford a new graphics card at the time. I have a whole new rig now, but I was wondering if it's even worth considering replacing the graphics card now. My sister has an labtop that's near the end of its life and I want to give her this one so she doesn't have to spend a lot of money for a new one. I got the graphics card out so it's ready for a new one, but my question is.. Is it worth it to replace the graphics card? The whole computer is stock to how it came. I know it's about 4 years old, but would still be a decent gaming computer I'd think. Advice on the matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!
