Hello World!
This is my first post on here, apologies if its in the wrong forum section...
One of my buddy gave me his old gaming PCs and id like to know what you guys think of the specs and possibly what upgrades I could put into it or just piece it out and sell it for parts.
Specs:
cpu = i5-3570k (base 3.4, was told the original builder o.c. to 3.8);
cpu cooler = basic intel heatsink;
mobo = ASRock z77 pro3;
gpu = R9 270x 2g ddr5;
memory = Team Group Zeus (2 x 4g) 1600 ddr3;
psu = 550w;
storage = 120gb samsung evo SSD;
wifi card = honestly no idea. No brand name or marking. All i have to go off of PB-777-M02G-10. Couldn't find anything online;
also came with:
monitor = cheap acer 24";
Keyboard = razor blackwidow mech Keyboard;
mouse: razor naga;
cpu and gpu temps are stable.
I have built a couple PCs in the past so im not unfamiliar with whats going on I just don't really know what else to do?
what I have done:
google drive images
the person i got it from really only used it to play WoW and school work.
When I received it, it was full of cat hair and dust... I pulled out all the hardware and did a thorough clean. actually looks quite nice now!
But its download speeds are horrendously slow... like down in the Kb/s... I was thinking maybe just buying a new wireless card might be the problem but before i go buy one, id like to see what you guys think?

what I have done:
- cleaned the entire thing;
- formated the SSD and installed a fresh windows 10;
- reset all o.c. and XMP settings back to default;
- ran some stress tests with CPU-z and everything looks somewhat okay for a 9 year old computer.
