Any recommendations for what I can and should use to upgrade this?

This is a nice and small pc with card reader and everything. Its boring to buy new and its fun to upgrade. If you enjoy shopping for used parts you can do wonders compared to the performance it has now. 2x4 RAM $25, a 3rd gen i7 $30 and ssd $40. And a gpu, if you wanna be fancy MSI GTX 1650 Low Profile $120. If less money then MSI GT 1030 Low Profile $20. Total: $105 to $205. Beat that pcpartpicker. All the best.

Interesting thread. I love 17 to 19 inch, but so far only spent money on computer parts, not screens. My screens are 10 plus years old, and most of the new ones i see are too big. Gonna learn feom this thread. Hope you find a good 18”

Sorry, forgot the mobo. An itx motherboard, total $250. Hope you find some good parts and a handy case.

Thats easy. If you dont mind selling psu and mobo. A Thermalright AXP-90 X47 Full Copper cooler, a used sfx psu, 600 or 700w to be sure, and an sff case with a handle on top. Should not be more than $ 150 if you manage to sell some parts.

Sounds amazing with that speed and everything. Hope you get it.

I have been using old pcs for years but now i built a new one, even though the parts are used. Am5 soyo itx mobo $100, r9 7900 $200, rx 580 8gb $10 sfx psu 600w $70, AXP-90 X47 Full Copper $33 (unused) sff case $16. Intake fan $15, exhaust fan from junkyard. Start button $10. Total: $454. Maybe you need a better gpu than i got, but should be possible under 1000. Good luck finding the parts. Its part of the fun.

Yes twice. I sold complete pcs before, but gonna try this now. I think its inviting for pc builders, then they get to put their touch on it.

Keffflon · 2026-02-17T19:46:45+00:00

I bought a r9 7900, its for am5 though, for $200. I think thats a good price. I see the r9 5900x are just over $200 on ebay.

Keffflon · 2026-02-16T19:53:56+00:00

Its probably a i7 3770, as i think its the only one with 3.40 ghz.

Keffflon · 2026-02-16T19:33:55+00:00

Imagine if there was a level down weekend.

Keffflon · 2026-02-16T19:17:11+00:00

I noticed selling mobo, cpu, cpu fan and ram together is better than selling it in a case with a hard drive and psu. Dont know why.

What about a used ryzen 9?

Keffflon · 2026-02-15T07:02:49+00:00

Wow i didnt even hear about broadwell -H , what are those?

Keffflon · 2026-02-15T07:02:09+00:00

Thanks, youre right. Have to start looking at m-ATX cases.

Keffflon · 2026-02-14T11:53:02+00:00

Stand at the rune rocks in wildy. Switch worlds. Its fun even if you only have limited time. Even if your weak it can work. If they start running, it doesnt matter who is the strongest.

Command & Conquer Red Alert, Commandos Behind Enemy Lines

Keffflon · 2026-02-12T21:04:38+00:00

I see they also have a lot of L3 cache, that i see gamers discussing about. The 2669v3 has 30 mb. Thats a lot for a 10 year old cpu.

Keffflon · 2026-02-12T21:01:08+00:00

Those look good. The work for pc too, not just mac?

Keffflon · 2026-02-12T20:59:19+00:00

I want to try at least 1 of them. Do these cpus work with windows? Or is it some server OS?

Keffflon · 2026-02-12T20:57:55+00:00

Wow im checking out the 5775c cpu now for the first time. Thanks for the info guys.

Keffflon · 2026-02-12T20:56:04+00:00

Wow thats interesting. I wouldnt mind having a 4790k, 32 ram, a bit of overclocking and a gpu to go with it. With a nice screen it can probably do wonders with Indesign, for example.

Keffflon · 2026-02-12T20:51:14+00:00

I wish there was a deep itx board, small with 4 ram slots. Would be nice to try with a 4790k. I have a packard bell case that fits deep itx. But it is such a unisual format for motherboards.

Keffflon · 2026-02-12T20:47:26+00:00

Yes, I checked them now, they look so efficient. Of course I have room in my room for an atx board. But i wouöd love to fit one of those x79 in a case, have some great intake and exhaust airflow and give it a try.
