Hi all!
(Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, first time posting)
I have had my current PC for about 7 years and it has started to struggle with newer games (main purpose). I am looking to upgrade a few components, but would love some advice on if the upgrades I am thinking about are worth it, need other parts need changing and where to source the upgrades themselves ?
Budget: £500-600 (but lower is always nicer
)
Also I have never upgraded/built a PC before so any help with that is also appreciated.

SSD
I want to take this to 2TB, but I am unsure which one or where to source them
Any help would be amazing!
