Potential Upgrade
I am thinking of upgrading my second system to be as good or better as my current system, but not sure if I should just make a whole new system itself or just upgrade what I need. The main reason why I wanted to upgrade I had this particular desktop for maybe 7 years. Not to mention I’ve been having some serious issues with the motherboard itself the past few years like one of the middle ram slots are not reading memory/the gigabyte motherboard has this loud static beep when the CPU is turbo boost mode (when the computer isn't underloaded). The List could go on. So, I don’t want to get burnt by a bad motherboard again, so much so I haven’t touched a gigabyte product in a long long time. My old system specs will be in the additional info section below.
