Approximate Purchase Date: the sooner the better
Budget Range: max $1000 CDN final total
System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, animating, video/sound editing, watching movies, spreadsheets, surfing the net
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: Graphics card Radeon HD 7550 to much newer and at least , the case because it’s very tight in there, likely the 460w power source, and potentially the fan and 686 AMIBIOS motherboard. The parts I’m keeping are: Intel i7.3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 4 cores, 16GB RAM unless more would make the new set up run better, 1TB SSD, 2TB HHD
Do you need to buy OS: Only if I need a new motherboard, which I’m unsure of
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: canadacomputers.ca, Bestbuy.ca, newegg.ca, and any other reputable Canadian sites recommended
Location: Laval, Quebec, Canada
Parts Preferences: no preference
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: I’ll be honest I dunno what this is
Your Monitor:1920x1080 but I might upgrade at a later date to 4k
Additional Comments: I’d like a relatively quiet computer but mostly I want to be able to run my desired programs with as little issue as possible. Programs include: Excel, Word, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Photoshop, TvPaint, Firefox, Steam, Origin. Games include: Sims 4 with many mods, Final Fantasy, Life is Strange 2, Slime Rancher, Dragonball Kakarot, Demon Slayer
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I am having great difficulty playing Sims 4 and newer games like Life is Strange 2. And test rendering when animating or editing is excruciatingly slow. It’s a fantastic beast of a machine that’s already been upgraded twice to what it is now. I got her in 2009 now it’s time for her 3rd upgrade so she can last even longer.
