Gone from my GeForce GTX 970 to the internal Intel HD Graphics 4600. :(

Finally time to do something about old hardware again

i could buy you one but I don't know how international shipping works...

or if New Zealand computers run on PCi or AGP ports, and do you need a 230V converter?

I have no clue myself. I got this pre built from a friend when he moved, he just took his laptop. I just know what I was running.

Here is the dusty old thing I pulled out of my PC.

As for international shipping, it is easy, but can also be expensive sending from most countries to NZ, though I found sending from NZ is much cheaper. So probably best to decline the offer.

I would if I could afford one. Not really worth it as everything else is very old and the cpu is below min requirements for a lot of recent games.

I forgot to mention the monitor also died and I am currently using a LG 24 inch with a resolution of 1680 x 1050. Old one was 1080p.

Not as powerful as the last one, but a friend has a spare card so he will be sending that down.
