Hello everyone and welcome to anoher Budget Builds Video where today we're taking a look at the Alienware X51 R2...But this time we're going to add a bit of a twist we're going to see if we can save this system by adding in an RTX Graphics Card. So join me as we find out if this is enough to give this system a new lease of life....Even if the base of the PC is from about 15 years ago. It's a bit of an interesting one today!
