I'm still using Dell with core2duo with ssd to replace the hdd. No gaming, just surfing the internet. Very basic uses, no video edits, etc. I want to upgrade, though, to better cpu and more rams. That's about it. Windows 10 home 64 bit free upgrade version, and I have 4 gb ram. Geforce gtx 750 ti with 2gb memory. I want to future proof?
I get all computers, family also, from Dell because of the after sales service and diy replacement info floating around in the web. So I'm not familiar with other brands.
XPS 8930 (intel i5) looked interesting, but there are some talk about its under-performing cpu cooler. Chassis, also, is very crowded. I want to be able to add my own very silent, bigger fans if I want.
HP envy 795 looks like it has more room inside but did HP maintain its past reputation? Are it's mobo and psu components about the same as DELL?
Also, if there's no face grill for fans, do current desktops get the air from the top? I am willing to cut the front bezel although if that kind of cuts may make the plastic vibrate?
