I have a fairly quiet PC setup in my living room. It is now pretty old and I'm looking to upgrade the components while keeping the case.
Ideally I'd prefer a full sized ATX socket 1151 mobo, intel i5 series7 CPU and 16gb DDR4 RAM as a minimum. However, I'm not exactly flush with funds and recognise that compromises will have to be made! I'd happily buy secondhand and am very open to suggestions.
I'd really appreciate whatever advice, ideas and views all you knowledgeable people out there have.
