Good morning,
This is my first post so I'll try to keep it as short as possible...
I bought this computer off a guy at a car-boot for £50 just as a cheap alternative until I have learnt enough to build my own computer. I noticed that it had some okay gear Installed as you can see in the pictures below. I want to build a pc that will allow me to play recent games (skyrim, elder scrolls online, gta 5 and some FPS') at a high graphics level. I am also a poker player and while the graphic content of 12 tables on pokerstars isn't a lot I will have various other programs running in the background. Such as HEM2 (database logger), table ninja 2 (poker client assist tool) and spotify, so I need to make sure this will cope with that. I have a basic understanding of how the inside of a computer goes together so please bear with me! I have a few questions if you wouldn't mind answering them or pointing me in the right direction.
• I have a pretty plop graphics card, what cards would you recommend in the £150-£250 price range to run the games mentioned above?
• Based upon the current specification of my PC in what order should I be upgrading my components? (Disregarding the graphics card).
• Are SSD's worth the money and what are they best used for?
• Do any of my current components have known compatibility issues with current technology?
• Does anyone have any articles that will really help me move on with my knowledge of computers so I can stop asking such basic questions?
Any responses will be greatly appreciated and I hope I can return the favour one day.
