I'm looking to buy a nice new monitor and upgrade my pc for about £700. Or would people recommend I hold off and spend more later, get an overhaul?
I'm upgrading partly because I'm wanting to use higher graphics settings in my games as it is struggling more often these days. And partly as a corona lock down project as I'm getting bored at home.
If it's really worth spending more on an overhaul in a year or 2 then maybe what would people suggest for a cheap and cheerful upgrade? I'm thinking my current weak points are power supply and graphics card but I'm not so clued up in all this. :s
