Hello everyone.
My 10 year old computer is not compatible with windows 11 and so I was wondering whether to upgrade Mainboard and CPU to something cheap (I guess not many are worse than my 2014 Intel i5).
I don’t see how much specs are important for changing these parts. My Power unit is capable of -800W and I‘ve got enough Y-Cables to connect all my 6 fans 2 ports if necessary. Btw it’s only ever being used for gaming. Do you have any suggestions?
I second finding discount ryzen chips like a Ryzen 5800x or 5600 and a compatible motherboard. I think sticking with windows is fine, especially if you are just gaming. My suggestion is to just upgrade your existing windows key, it gives you a grandfathered version without some of the annoying bits of a fresh install.
If you don’t have one already, I recommend an SSD, too! Migrating your OS to one will significantly improve your day-to-day life using a PC.
Thank you! I’ll be looking for a chip like that! I‘ve actually upgraded to an M2 SSD in 2019 iirc!
