My Win10 desktop PC (for Zoom, teaching language classes, marking and light editing) is 7 years old now, and feeling sluggish, and I can’t upgrade to Win11.
I’d originally thought I’d be using it a lot for gaming, so it has 32 GB of HyperX DDR 4 2400 RAM in 4 sticks, a GTX 1080 GPU, an MSI Z170A SLI plus gaming motherboard, an i7 6700K CPU, and around 6 TB of storage on various SSDs and HDDs.
I was thinking of buying a new power supply, motherboard and CPU (open to Intel or AMD) and keeping my DDR4 RAM, but being able to upgrade to DDR5 in the future. And, continue to use my GTX 1080 for now, but maybe swap it out a couple of years down the road.
Any suggestions on a good Win11 motherboard and CPU combo that will pick up my system’s speed and allow me the flexibile upgrade path I’m thinking of?
Thanks very much
