My current gaming pc is about 12 years old and is starting to falter slightly, i dont play any of the new gen games but age of empires 2 definitive edition has started to just close while playing games without any error messages, think it could be due to the hard drive been an old none ssd?
Im aware any upgrade from my old pc would be huge, its just i see a lot of posts seeing people saying to hold off on upgrades if you can as new generation of products is due out?
Current specs of pc are:
Motherboard EX58-UD5
CPU i7 920 @2.67
HDD 1TB seagate barracuda 7200 (the old style?)
Memory 12GB DDR3 1600MHZ
Graphics Radeon 5900 series
If i could get away with upgrading to a compatible ssd (if possible) and hopefully getting the pc to last another year is it worth? i have a budget of around £1500 for a new pc is it worth me just taking the plunge? Only reason i want to hold out is i want a new gaming pc to last me a decent length of time again, like i said previously i dont play the latest games and play a lot more casually now so any extra time out of the old one is a bonus.
Cheers for any advice
