📊 Performance Summary

• 1080p Gaming (AAA / High Settings):
  RTX 2060 SUPER is much stronger than a 3060 12GB and easily stronger than any 50-series entry card.
  Expect 95–150 FPS in most modern titles at 1080p High.

• 1440p Gaming:
  Very solid — most games run 60–90 FPS on High/Ultra settings.

• Ray Tracing + DLSS:
  Basic ray tracing is playable; DLSS makes demanding games smooth even at 1440p.

• CPU/GPU Pairing:
  The i5-10505 pairs very well with the 2060 SUPER — no bottleneck in 1080p and minimal in 1440p.

• Power & Thermals:
  2060 SUPER uses around 175W; your 650W PSU is sufficient.
  Stock cooler keeps the CPU safe, though temps will be mid-high under load.

⚙️ Strengths

✅ Excellent 1080p & very capable 1440p GPU
✅ Great performance/price due to refurbished 2060 SUPER
✅ Good CPU/GPU balance with no major bottlenecks
✅ DLSS support boosts performance in modern games
✅ Case airflow (4 fans) helps keep temps under control

⚠️ Limitations

⚠️ Refurbished GPU — lifespan depends on previous usage
⚠️ 256GB SSD will run out fast with modern titles
⚠️ Intel stock cooler is functional but noisy and warm
⚠️ H410 board limits RAM speed to ~2666 MHz on Intel (not full 3200)

🔍 Bottom Line Summary

🟢 Verdict:
A strong mid-range gaming PC, especially at 1080p/1440p. The RTX 2060 SUPER gives you real GPU power — far better than the new low-end cards. Only upgrades to consider: add a 500GB–1TB SSD and maybe a better CPU cooler later.
