I use mainly Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and Acrobat. Apart from that I am creating/converting eBooks and User Guides with MS Office. When working with Video converting, it's literally VHS to Digital converting or DVD/BluRay ripping with more than one language and subtitles. That all sounds...

Hi guys, I am not sure if that was mentioned already, there are so many posts about upgrades. Let me directly jump in. My current PC is old. It still works, but it's too old for the upgrade from Windows 10 to 11. I am not sure if I really need a full new Desktop PC, or if it's enough if I...

You are right actually. It's just the OS upgrade I would like and the option to add 1 or 2 more monitors. Since Microsoft extended the support for Windows 10 up to 2025 or even 2030 I don't need the upgrade. And when it comes to the additional monitor option, I can just update the graphics card...

The PSU was replaced about 2 years ago. But it's a box standard, nothing special. I use it for Adobe Illustrator, Office stuff, some podcast and YouTube. No big gaming etc.

@DSzymborski: 2040 :LOL: okay I take that point. @USAFRet: Let me list what I have. I could send you a screenshot of my syteminfo, but some stuff is in German and I am not sure if you speak that language. - Z97-P motherboard - Intel Core i5-4690K CPU 3.50 GHz - 16 GB RAM - 250 SSD for OS - 2...

:ROFLMAO: ... plus 2 years later. I got sidetracked and never did my upgrade. Now it's time to seriously think about it again. My tower is a midi tower I think, the mainboard is a Z97-P, so I think that needs replaced as well as the CPU and the RAM. It's really difficult to make the right...

The parts are still good, but I don't think I can sell it. I could give the whole PC to someone and get myself a new tower, but I actually like my tower and would rather just replace the parts who are old. In my case motherboard, CPU and maybe RAM. I want to get Windows Pro 11 ready, since I get...

Thank you. In the end I just replaced the PSU I had with the same model and I am happy. I am pretty sure I will need your advice soon for a bundle upgrade, but I need to research a little bit more.

I don't really know what exact model the graphic card is, just know it's an NVIDIA. Nothing fancy really. Find some images from my pc, I am not sure it will really help. https://ibb.co/xDs7ZsW https://ibb.co/48snq3p https://ibb.co/svxcwwp https://ibb.co/RyHQ73y The price for the PSU is...

If upgrading components in the pc, what do you do with the old ones? I mean Mainboards, CPU, Graphic cards, memory, etc...

Sorry, overlooked that last bit. No the CMOS is fine. I am located in the UK. If you mean with sites preference where I like to buy the parts, well last time I bought them at amazon, CCL and AWD-IT, if I remember correct. Price wise I don't want to overdo with the price, because I don't know...

For a while my fan from the power supply made loud noises every now and then. Lately it was very quiet and I noticed that it didn't work anymore. The PC itself still worked fine though. Today I wanted to boot up to look for a new PSU, but it seemed not to recognize the main drive (the one with...
