I have two PCs, current build....
HP 280 G2
Intel Pentium G4400 3.3ghz
Geforce GT 710 2gb DDR3
1 tb HDD
8gb RAM
Windows 10
It is a standard ATX case and currently has a 180w PSU
I was planning to replace the PSU with a Corsair 550TX, and the GPU with a GTX 1050 ti 4gb GDDR5 at a total cost of about £210. Then perhaps I could think about replacing the Processor.
However I also have this computer
Dell Optiplex 790
Intel i5-2400 3.1ghz
500gb HDD
4gb RAM
Ubuntu
It's a slimmer case and has a 250w PSU and cannot be replaced with a standard ATX like the HP. I have just installed Linux on this machine.
I also have a non-working HP Pro (powers up but no picture) which has 2x 4b RAM sticks, a 500gb HDD and an i3 processor at 3.3ghz and a 300w PSU.
Should I just take the 1 tb HDD, RAM sticks, and GPU out of my HP and put it into the Dell and use that instead?
Still not sure what I want to do, please advise!
