Hi everyone, looking to upgrade my computer from a prebuilt HP to something that suits me better since my PC is about 3 years old and starting to run a little slow.
Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: month away tops
Budget Range: 350ish
System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, photoshop, illustrator
Are you buying a monitor: no
Parts to Upgrade: Ram, motherboard, cpu, tower ( I don't need a card or psu)
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg or microcenter
Location: City, State/Region, Country - New Rochelle, NY
Parts Preferences: no preference
Overclocking: no
SLI or Crossfire:no
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
I'm upgrading because my computer has been running a little slow, right now it is just an HP prebuilt computer with the psu and graphics card changed. I use photoshop a lot and play a lot of games such as wow, civ 5, guild wars 2 etc
This is what I came up with:
