Hello All!

My father found out this week that support for Windows 10 will stop in october. He wants to upgrade to Windows 11 but i was reading online that some of the parts he has are either unstable with it or really borderline. Right now he has an old Biostar b75mu3+ motherboard with an intel G630c CPu and a GTX 760. Everything is over a decade old so he'd like to get some new parts so it can last a while again while running windows 11 fast. Mostly what he does is browsing, using his PC to shoot stuff on his projector or the TV. He does some PDF works, office and very rarely he will encode some old movies and burn them on blurays but its rare. He'd like something that will be able to handle all this at a good speed (encoding he leaves it on when going to sleep so it doesn't matter as much) and that would most likely works for the next Windows again. What's the best bang for the bucks parts he could get? Obviously he doesn't want to spend a grand on these three parts (really don't think this is necessary for what he does anyways)

Thank you!
LordPM.
