I've recenrtly started saving up for a new system;
CPU: i7 7700k
GPU: 1080 ti strix
Mobo: z270e strix
Cooler: kraken 62 nzxt
Ram: 32gb tridentz rbg
Psu: 750w EVGA 80+
I have everything bought but the GPU. As it will take 4 or 5 more weeks for me to save up for the GPU I was considering building the PC with my old systems card temporarily (a 3gb gtx1060) to keep myself entertained until I can afford it.
As this build is pretty expensive I don't want to risk ANY chances of an old GPU ruining the system. Is there any at all possibility that the GPU could possibly carry any viruses at all, or anything that could slow down a new system?
I don't think the old system is infected, there's nothing to indicate this, it's just that I haven't renewed AV on it in a few months and I'd rather be safe than sorry,
Many thanks,
Eoin.
