For sure.

If you are curious I used a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER So to be exact, it came out 7 years ago (I upgraded at some point on this desktop a long time ago and didn't remember the exact year) (I updated the article to reflect this now)

This cost $230 new and you can get one now for $100 which I don't think is too out of reach.

Saying 10yo 6GB will make most people think you are talking about a Geforce GTX 1060.

That was an oversight. The tower is more than 10 years old. I updated the article to be exact now
