Ok thanks punkncat I have windows 10 on my system and have licence key so no problems doing new install what would you say is a fair price for this setup ?

When you reinstall Windows 10 do it from a usb thumb drive using media creation tool. It will prevent many head aches.

The 6100 and the DDR4 already make it a really enticing upgrade. I "think" the GPU will work? Might wait to see what others say on that aspect.

I would ask, according to price, whether Win 10 is included/still tied to the mobo. You will certainly need to reinstall Windows for this upgrade.
