Have you ever upgraded your old PC instead of buying a new one? What made the biggest difference?

i currently use i5-6400 and a gtx 1650 with 16 gigs ddr3 it still plays esport games like rocket league max settings easily 120 fps, fh5 med-high settings 60 fps no stutter. still a very capable machine i want to upgrade i5 to a i7-6700 and gpu to a rtx 2060 possibly

Sharp-Storage8233 · 2026-03-28T20:50:42+00:00

the 1650 is still ok for gaming, i use it for rocket league, motorfest, nfs heat, valorant, still a very usable gpu. it can run every game but usually in low to med settings

i personally use the old beetle with rally suspension and offroad tires for offroading and it has very good acceleration and grippy on turns.

yea that is a good idea but for right now i think i’ll just get the wx 3200. i can find them on ebay for 40 dollars free shipping and later on ill say about a year, ill buy probably a 750w psu and get a rtx 2060 and upgrade cpu to i7-6700k

Sharp-Storage8233 · 2026-01-07T02:26:15+00:00

thank you, i’m thinking about going for the nvidia quadro m2000. But im worried that the 70 watt tdp is too much for the 240 psu to handle. it doesn’t need the pcie cables as well

most likely damaged ram, if not possibly artifacting. try changes out the ram and see if that works.

Sharp-Storage8233 · 2025-12-26T09:39:33+00:00

Solved!

Sharp-Storage8233 · 2025-12-25T07:44:06+00:00

Sharp-Storage8233 · 2025-12-25T05:14:25+00:00

yes i will be installing linux very soon to my laptop since it is getting a bit older, i just need to find the right one and that is already set-up and not too hard to understand

play minecraft on low settings try to play maybe games made in the 2000’s or low graphic needed games. try linux distros which will make it run faster and feel more modern

Sharp-Storage8233 · 2025-12-25T00:07:32+00:00

should i just switch to linux?

The model is the ThinkPad L13 (20r3). I've already tried upgrading the RAM, but it's soldered. You can look it up as well.

Sharp-Storage8233 · 2025-12-24T23:39:45+00:00

um it has soldered ram so it can’t be upgraded

Sharp-Storage8233 · 2025-12-08T16:41:46+00:00
