So a family member of mine has an incredibly slow pc that needs to be replaced. I was wondering how viable it would be to upgrade my own and use the leftover components to build a new one. they won't be using it for gaming but they want something easily upgradeable so they won't have to buy a new PC every few years.



For reference my pc has:

Ryzen 3700X Cpu with it's stock cooler

Radeon RX 5700 Gpu

B450 THMWK max motherboard

16GB patriot viper steel 3.6ghz Ram

Corsair RM 750 Psu

as well as a sabrrent rocket SSD for a boot drive



let me know if any more information would help. I haven't used this forum in a while
 
Forgot to add a few points. My PC needs more RAM for the software i use (at least 32GB) . I would guess about £500 budget wise but maybe a little more i know this isn't a huge amount. absouloutely no more than £650 for the combined budget of both.

The PSU is from 2019 and still in warranty.

In terms of upgradeability it just needs to not be upgradaeable. Because their current PC has a very strange design and most components simply won't fit inside.

The SSD is 1TB

I am very happy with my current GPU. If i were to ask a question how long would my current CPU and RAM be suitable for an everay windoews user before becoming too slow.

RAM is the primary thing i wish to upgrade. I was thinking of upgrading my CPU and motherboard as well if possible in oreder to use DDR5 RAM.
 
Gaming but also 3D moddeling, vector art as well as image editing and creating games.

Just using firefox right now and it
s Ram is half full
