In this episode I install a graphics card (video card, GPU, vanilla ice cream cone, whatever you want to call it) in my Dell 3880, explain my equipment selection process, test the factory 200W power supply a bit to see how much capacity we have, demo a few games, and run some other benchmark performance tests at the end.

System configuration in this video:
i3-10300
8GB DDR4 2666 MHz CL19
Samsung M.2 NVMe 970 EVO SSD
200W Dell PSU
GT 1030 2GB, GDDR5
