Hi there,
I built my PC 4+ years ago now (I have added a few bits along the way) and I am wondering about a refresh. I like to game (Cyberpunk, dark souls, football manager), and I work on it too, but nothing demanding, MS Teams, office etc. My current set-up
If I was to upgrade, it would probably be the CPU for an i5, i7 or i9 Raptor lake, some DDR5 memory (2x16gb?), a new NVme (a 2tb?) and Motherboard. I would need to check to see if my Noctua NH-U12A is up to the task, but would definitely need a new bracket I think. Would the PSU by fine? Perhaps stick with the graphics card for now.
Any thoughts?
