I took my $350 budget eBay gaming PC and turned it into a legit 1440p gaming machine! Correction, The Lenovo Adapter is 10 Pin Correct link is below, 12 pin is HP I’ve been working on.
In the last video we built this Lenovo IdeaCentre with an RTX 3050 for solid 1080p gaming. Now we’re going all the way to 1440p by swapping the power supply and dropping in a full RTX 4060. The performance jump is ridiculous!

ideaCenter 5 on eBay: ebay.us/V1Jyh4

📈 Benchmarks shown:
* 3DMark Steel Nomad: +132%
* 3DMark Time Spy: +98%
* Spider-Man 2 (1440p High + DLSS Balanced)
* Crimson Desert (1440p High + DLSS Quality + Frame Gen)
* Mortal Kombat 1 (1440p High)
* Red Dead Redemption 2 (1440p High)
* Cyberpunk 2077 (1440p High + DLSS Quality + Frame Gen = 130+ FPS!)

Even with the older i5-10400, DLSS Frame Generation makes this feel like a much more expensive rig. Perfect budget upgrade path!
