Thank you for the replies. I have seen some second hand Nvidia GTX 1660 GPU's for around the £120-150 mark. I may just hold off for now but i will keep an eye on the usual places just in case i can find a bargain within my price range.

Hi, i am a fairly new member to the forum/Launchbox and i have been lurking on here since i joined (searching for tips and tricks to setup my system). I have been an avid gamer over the last 35 years and i still enjoy playing games on the consoles i have purchased throughout that time. I still have my consoles setup (PS2 - PS3 - PS4 Pro - XBOX 1X - XBOX 360 - WII U - Dreamcast) but as they take up a fair bit of room i decided at the start of the year to upgrade my Media PC that i used for Movies and TV Shows that i have backed up from original DVD's over the years so i can play most of my consoles in one package through Launchbox/Bigbox through the Kodi frontend. . I opted for a Gigabyte 550M motherboard, 16gb ram (3200mhz) and a Ryzen 5600G CPU and so far it has been able to handle the majority of my platforms but as i am now looking get setup my PS3 - WII U games and be able to play them to a decent standard (1080p-2160p) i am looking at buying a dedicated GPU. I am not that clued up on GPU's to be honest. There are far too many makes and model numbers which has me a little confused as to what is the best bang for buck GPU that will suit my needs. As i have a budget of around £100-£120, is there any suitable GPU's that will enable me to play my games up to the PS3 - WII U?.

Ah, that's a bit of a bummer that Wii-U and PS3 don't emulate very well. I don't game at all on PC so it's looking likely that it won't really be worth me forking out cash if they do not work all that well tbh. Thank you for the speedy reply though. it has cleared up my questions and saved me wasting my time and money on an unreliable emulation situation. Cheers Stu

Hi I am fairly new to using Launchbox and i have been testing it on my main PC over the last few days. So far i quite like the interface and how easy it is to get setup. My main questions are that i have two PC's. One that is used as my main computer and another that is primarily used as a Media Centre for all of my backups of Movies, TV Shows and Music using Kodi connected to my main TV. I have all of my Consoles (PS2,PS3,PS4,Dreamcast,Wii U) setup to my main TV but i am thinking of de-cluttering my living room and having an all in one option upgrading my Media PC and using Launchbox (Bigbox). Most of these consoles are modded to play roms like my PS2, Dreamcast and Wii U but as i have 70+ PS3 disc games, i will be looking to back them up as well to use on this proposed new all in one setup. It will probably run anything pre Wii-U and PS3 easily now i would have thought but can anyone let me know what sort of spec of components i would need to upgrade to run Wii U and PS3? My Media PC is using WIN 10 64bit but is quite old now and has this spec. Gigabyte 78LMT-USB R2 motherboard. 8gb DDR3 Ram, AMD Phenom II X4 960T 3.00GHz CPU, Nvidia GeForce GT 520 GPU. I am expecting to have to upgrade quite a few components like the CPU, GPU and ram and as it is such a long time since i built my PC's i am out of the loop on spec's and such but would like a rough idea on parts to see if it going to be worth the cost tbh. It is nice having all of the original consoles out on show but they are taking up too much space now. Any recommendations are most welcome. Cheers Stu
