So I have an old HP slimline 270-p033w that I’m considering upgrading (for educational purposes mostly) vs shelling out cash for a newer one. Forgive me for any dumb questions I may ask, I’m hoping to learn something here. Currently, intel celeron processor, Lubin motherboard, ddr4 8gb. 100% stock. Specs show this mobo can take up to an i7-7700 or i7-7700T. Or… i can swap the mobo for one that accepts AMD for $50 and can go that route. I’m not a big gamer or anything. I do a lot of downloading and some 3d graphic designing & blueprints for new houses. I like amd processors personally but cost wise it comes out to be about the same in the end. Am I wasting my time with this old pc or is there still enough life in this old horse to give it an upgrade? I also plan to upgrade to 16gb ram and a ssd. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
