My current built, which you helped me create in 2009, is listed bellow. It has worked great over the years however I am finally noticing that its performance cant keep up with newer games.
Are there possible upgrades that I can do to this system to extend its performance perhaps by a year? Or are most components so outdated that it is not worth it and its better to build a new system.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
