Upgrading cpu motherboard and ram.

Alberto376 · Nov 30, 2015

Hello guys since my old computer is starting to run slower i would like to upgrade the cpu, mobo and ram. My budget is 400€ up to 450€, i dont need more than 8gb ram and since im not really informed about the sixth gen cpu i would like to know if it is a nice idea to upgrade to that generation of cpus. My main uses are architecture design (3dmax, autocad) and gaming.

Thanks a lot for your time

would be a massive upgrade
You will almost certainly have to also buy a copy of Windows to install . The hard drive you have will not plug in and just work . If you have an Acer windows disk it will not be able to install at all

There isnt any way to change only the mobo cpu and ram and keep my actual windows 7 and hard drive?
£462.34 is 200€ more that my actual budget is so it goes way to far for me.

You can not plug a hard drive with windows 7 in to a new mb and boot.

In your first post you give a budget of £450.
Costs can be trimmed by dropping the SSD and fitting a conventional hard drive

Use a mirroring program to mirror your drives so you can cut costs on a windows license

jajack :

So now you have a copy of Win 7 that will fail to boot on both drives .

Outlander_04 :

You missread when i said my budget i said euros (€) not pounds (£) the simbol is similar but if you do the change with 450£ to euros it is around 640€.
