My Current PC is now around seven years old. I recently upgraded to Windows 10 and it is struugling a bit at times, so am looking to bring it a bit more up to date. I am not sure what I actually need.
The current spec is:
Pentium (R) Dual Core CPU E5800 @ 3.20GHz 3.30 GHz
4GB RAM- This is the max for teh board
500 GB Samsung SSD HD + a second 500GB HD as storage only.
Sound & Graphics built in to the Motherboard.
I use the PC for surfing and maybe watching U-tube videos so dont need a gaming spec machine. I am happy with the SSD and the HD for storage so will repupose them.
I havent kept up to date with the capabilities of CPUs etc, but suspect if I update the Motherboard, CPU and memory to 8-16GB, that would probably suffice along with a new case maybe.
What sort of CPU, Motherboard & RAM do i need to be looking for?
Thanks Baz
