Overhauling a PC i build for a friend that's 5 years old.
He is running WinXP 32 bit, Phenom II X4 3.5 Ghz (212 cooler), Gigabyte 785G mobo, 4GB DDR2, Geforce 460, 320GB HDD, all in a NZXT case that's not terrible.
Upgrading to Win10 64bit, not touching cpu or mobo, adding 2gb ram (6gb total), swapping 460 for a radeon 7850 2gb (my old card that I sold him), adding a Mushkin 120GB SSD as the main drive (keeping the 320GB HDD as a secondary), and swapping all of the fans for new ones (nasty, nasty buggers).
I am also ditching his old Sigma 630W (not a 80 plus rated) PSU for a Corsair CMS 450W (modular 80+ gold) that I got for a great price, which i think can handle more power than the old 630W Sigma....
He mostly plays WoW along with Dota 2 and Diablo 3 (he is looking forward to using this rig with Overwatch). I think this will work for him for a few more years, opinions?
