Recently my buddys r4 was having problems freezing and error code kept getting some errors for Alienware command center. I googled it told him to remove it and what not, he just decided to get a new one. I mentioned to him hey if you wanna get rid of that like 100 bucks or something ill take it. My daughter needed a pc for her birthday but she doesn't play anything extensive. Animal jam and what not. trying to do fortnite. So he said yeah its just sitting thereso I got it from him first to see if I could fix it.
I had a few problems on the general factory reset a couple freezes. But ever since the first night it seems to be running smooth. Its an i7 4820 with a gtx 690. Now that ive told him its running pretty good hes telling me he wants 300.....anyways. I know the gpu is garbo. But im wondering if the cpu will hold up if I got say a 1070 or something. another 300-400 bucks. which would put me at around 700-800 dollars. Im torn right now checking out pc's for sale on craigslist. Should I keep the r4 and upgrade the gpu will the older components bottleneck me?
Is usb3.0 that important the r4 doesn't have it. Or would I be better to pick up something like this. this guy wants 750$. theres a few others around this price with basically same components.
