I used to be bigger into computers, then just sort of lost interest. When my FIL passed, he left behind a non-functioning Acer Aspire with an i5-4440, that I have been using after figuring out a memory problem.
Recently I have been getting more interested in gaming again, and will want to give 2077 a shot.
I have replaced the PSU with my old system's 430 watt, and installed my old system ATI 4850. I have a 1650 super inbound.
I'll probably update it to windows 10 when I get the new card.
I imagine I will update to an AM5 slot system in the next couple of years and carry over the graphics, at least initially. I like AMD based systems since they stick with the same slot for years, so I can update the CPU down the road without a whole new system.
What else can I buy that could carry over to the next system and still make a difference in this system?
My initial though was a SSD, either SATA or use a PCIex1 card to adapt to the m2 whatever standard.
any thing else worth considering?
