Hey everyone, I built my first desktop back in 2009 for around 1000$ it was a great source of pride and has been my baby for years, providing me with endless gaming entertainment. But unfortunately it's now outdated and painfully slow. My girlfriend is constantly whining about how loud the fan is, the case is falling apart with only a few usable USB ports left.
Now my question is, is it worthwhile to upgrade or should I just trash it and build new? Is anything worth keeping, power supply maybe? I'd like to save some cash if its a possibility.
Running Windows 7
AMD Phenom 2 x4 955 Processor with 3.2 gz
500GB HD
4 MB ram
Geforce GTX 650 Ti (Upgraded since original build)
ASUS DRW-24B1LT Drive
Can't remember my power supply currently but i can have a look soon, if theres any specs I'm missing that are needed to help with decisions please let me know what they are and how to obtain them.
I really only play league of legends these days which seems to run just fine, basic operations are incredibly slow now though. I'd like to be able to run newer games as they come out, have a computer that doesn't feel sluggish as hell, reduce noise from cooling, and definitely replace the case.
Can someone with some more knowledge give input on my situation? Any help is greatly appreciated!
