i have a secondery old hp system with these specs:
pentium e5700 3 ghz (2 cores)
4gb ram
300 w psu
should i get a gt 1030 for it because i kind of wanna be able to game on my secondery system as well and i dont want to spend more money on upgrading this system ( i already have a capble gaming pc) but i wanna know if i already have good enough specs and i just need to upgrade my graphics.
 
Solution
PSU is the weak link, OEMs tend to provide just enough wattage to cope with the components they use.

1030 requires 30w, so "probably" will work.

As a gaming system, it is very weak.
