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?

    Could you tell us more specifically what do you want to use/play on this PC? (e.g browsing or productivity apps, or old games or the latest AAA titles)

    A maximum budget would be very helpful.

      From old games up to AAA titles, just everything i won’t get physical on Switch or PS5. I only do gaming on it via Steam link since my main machine is a MacBook.
