Hi all,
So it has been a while since I kept up with all the new PC hardware and I am trying to figure out what is my best upgrade option at this point or maybe not even upgrade at all?
My current system:
I5-7500
MSI B250M Bazooka
8gb of Ram @ 2400 (2 slots still open, thinking this might be the only upgrading I need but not sure)
500GB HP 3NAND SSD
1TB HDD
A Cryorig H7 cooler? Back in the day, I got it mostly for the aesthetics lol
XFX RX480 8gb
The PSU is crap, it's like a Cooler Master 550 bronze certified. It has served me well though.
Oh, not sure if it matters but my monitor is an Acer something that is 1440p 75hz
Back when I built this thing it was mostly for gaming but nowadays I am on it 8+ hours a day doing schoolwork or doing extreme multitasking with spreadsheets for my business. So I'm not sure if just a few sticks of RAM would be a good solution as I notice my usage is always 75%+ or am I better off to blow the whole thing up while I can still sell my parts for some value. I'm more into getting the most bang for my buck as I am a college student who can't go crazy spending 500 on a CPU.
Thank you so much, everyone!
