Hey all, I have three systems used at home, one by me , and two for my kids, all with different uses and play style,
All have their own limitations/ bottlenecks and I'm struggling to work out where to drop cash, re used or move parts around between each.
System 1 CPU/GPU limited? was primarily built for PCVR but now is used for 50% roblox ( IKR) /50% AAA titles (youngest son uses this daily)
System 2 (suspect SSD is dying/old/slow, this system was given to use from a friend who rebuilt something new) It's a family shared PC primarily for day to day tasks/online games and some AAA titles
System 3 (pre 2020)
AMD 3 2200G, Asrock b450m,32GB DDR 4 3600 (capped to 2400mhz due to CPU)
As of last week, now using the IGPU as AMD 295 artefacts and BSOD often unless removed, you'll laugh but I just dropped a 500GB NvME in there a few days back to see it helped but painfully long stutters and such, it mostly did tbf!
Its intended use is emulating/light gaming.
User of system 1, says he is VRam capped and does not have access to newer tech like Nvidia DLSS? sorry i'm showing my age haha, I don't know if a new GPU is going to be capped by the current hardware ?
User of system 2, I think it just needs a new SSD (ill drop the NVME in here that i just bought for testing)
Me system 3, was going to upgrade to something newer with an IGPU , but there's nothing logical my old board can take and I need an iGPU ? any and all advice welcome, like to do this sub 700 or sp?
Where I'm stuck?

- My 1st thought is go AM5 drop in for for system 1, meaning new CPU mobo and ram, but i'll take spares to system 2 or 3 but
- New GPU for SYS 1? and move 2070 around elsewhere?
- new CPU for system 1? was hunting for 5700/5800X3D but zero stock here in the UK im a few months late I guess
