I've been using my computer system for approximately 7 years. I've updated various parts off and on, but something keeps eluding me. My PC has begun running slower and slower and I am not sure what to do.
Specs:
Gateway DX4200-09
AMD Phenom 9100e Quadcore Processor 1.8ghz
8gb DDR3 1600 RAM
Nvidia GTX 760
Windows Vista OS
Those are the basic specs on my PC, and it has gotten me where I need to be throughout these years. I am wondering if I should upgrade the Motherboard/CPU to something in the i5/i7 range or scrap the system and create a brand new one.
I primarily use the system for school work and gaming, but gaming has been a challenge lately as the system will get random lag spikes off and on making it almost unplayable. I would truly like to fix this portion of it if at all possible.
I would eventually like to upgrade to windows 7 or 10 and add an SSD to my PC as I feel this would assist me without having to upgrade the whole system.
I've run various programs and disc cleaners/malware/spyware etc in an attempt to clean up the system.
If you have any advise or recommendations it would be greatly appreciated.
