Hi.

I purchased a PC for my son around 18 months ago now from Very. It's a PC Specialist one. Cypher GXR.

He now wants a laptop and is about to purchase one.

I am going to have his PC.

I would however like to upgrade it as I plan to do editing on it in 4k to 6.3k video files if it will do it.

I have been out of the game for a good number of years now and am looking for advice on what hardware I can buy to upgrade it.

I guess RAM will be one and maybe better drives?

Below is a link to the MB spec and also a SS of the specs listed by his PC.

Thanks for the advice.

I have another question.

On my current PC I have Creative speakers that I use for the audio.

Creative T15 Wireless

The Creative T15 Wireless features dedicated tweeters for crisp highs, custom-selected drivers for distinctive midrange, and BasXPort™ technology for high-output bass. It boasts clever connectivity options with Bluetooth® capabilities, Line-in and a dedicated headphone output. Conveniently...

I also have a LG Monitor 27GP950-B.

I have just purchased a Mini PC.


The monitor has no onboard audio so I am having to plug in a head set through the Mini PC's front headphone jack. I also keep having to switch display using the joystick attached to the monitor. HDMI 1 to HDMI 2 etc.

Is there a way I can hook up the creative speakers so it would work on both..? and also change displays through windows or do I have to keep doing it manually?

It's not such a big deal really but would be nice if I can achieve both.

Well I have been busy since I last posted. RE the audio..

On my main PC it's connected by a wire. There is also a Bluetooth option. So I connected my Mini PC via bluetooth and it works fine. I can switch between PC and it works on both. Now I just have to find the right switch for the display and keyboard / mouse and I'm good to go.



Think this might do...
