Hey guys, what with this worldwide lockdown I thought it would be the right moment to update my PC. My boyfriend is adamant that if I change my Graphic Card, I must also upgrade the Processor and other things. Other forums have said it's not always necessary but I don't want to risk messing up my rig so I'd rather check out with you guys if it's okay or not.
I have this graphic card :
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560
And this processor :
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770K CPU @ 3,50GHz
I also have 16GB of RAM, am running W10, I bought the computer new back in 2013, it came with an SSD and a HDD, I've recently bought a second HDD, and I don't know what other relevant info I could give you :/
Also how long are SSDs supposed to last? Maybe I should start looking into changing that too or should it be fine for a few more years?
My problem is that my graphic card is considered old and I can't stream to Discord or correctly play any new fancy games so I really want to change that, what would you recommend?
Thanks!
Elea
