Hello tom'sHARDWARE community,
So I bought a Alienware Aurora R4 3 years ago, around 2012 - 2013. Over time it has slowed down and there are lot's of errors. I might reinstall windows when windows 10 comes out, the apps don't work except for app store, but I can't download anything because it won't allow me to sign in. Everything used to work, now there are some errors for games and stuff like that. I have upgraded this PC twice, added 16gbs of ram, and a hard drive from my old laptop. I feel like its time for a new upgrade to speed her up, also I have never cleaned the inside of this PC. Which I feel like I should. Is it worth upgrading? Or should I buy a new PC? I run quad monitors (2 right now, since packing to move), 2 keyboards, 2 mice, 2 webcams, 2 headsets, 1 printer, 1 scanner. Idk if the printer and scanner effect anything but, yea. I also have a CRAP ton of usb hubs.
Specs:
GPU: GeForce GTX 660
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3820 CPU @ 3.60GHz
Memory: 20.00 GB RAM (19.92 GB usable)
Current resolution: 1680 x 1050, 59Hz
Operating system: Microsoft Windows 8.1
Hope I can get some help
