I'm trying to figure out if its worth upgrading my old computer to Windows 10 or if this new computer is better. I do a decent amount of online gaming but don't mind running low to medium graphics though I really prefer to play at 1920x1080 resolution.
Old computer - Dell XPS 630i
Upgraded video card to Nvidia GeForce GTX 285
Ram is 4x 2gb DDR2 sticks
More specs can be found here: http://www.pcworld.com/product/32040/xps-630-desktop-customizable.html
New computer - Lenovo H50 - A10
Specs can be found here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883798515
I'm concerned about the small power supply size in the Lenovo (only 180W). Some have also reported that the motherboard can only support 6gb of ram per slot (comes with an 8GB and 2GB stick) so you're really only getting 10GB of ram. On the other hand, quad core processor, graphics cards that was not made in 2009 and DD3 vs DDR2 ram.
The new computer is $400, the old one needs me to purchase a new copy of Windows, which would be Windows 10 at $120. Should I stick with the old and put Win 10 on it or go with the new and retire the XPS?
