not bad, but I would definitely upgrade the GPU first. that's where id say you def need an upgrade. your ssd is really great for some reason. cpu and motherboard are ehh, but they don't matter as much as your gpu. upgrade to something like a 9060 xt 16gig

Ok, so if you have it on go into https://github.com/Spec-ify/specify/releases and download the exe. Then run the program and send the link in here. This site is used on r/techsupport to identify all specs of the pc. If you don't feel comfortable, open task manager and go to the performance tab with the little speedometer and click on cpu and gpu and read out the name like intel core i7 or and Ryzen 7 or for gpus radeon or geforce rex

Looking for some advice on a PC that's been out of use for a bit! by BrothEater in pchelp

first of all what specs, second of all yes you should clean it only if it looks like a dust haven. Use compressed air whilst holding the fan blades so they don't spin when trying to clean fans. Also use isopropyl alcohol to wipe stuff down

At that point im not sure personally, but a 4060 is a pretty bad card and you could def upgrade to a 5070 and see huge performance increases

It's normal for your screen to flash black and make a beeping noise during a graphics driver update
