Hi all,
I am brand new to the forums and have only done a bit of tinkering upgrading my Dell XPS 8900 desktop pc. I'm wondering if I should replace my desktop with say a Legion 5i Gaming desktop for the better graphics card and processor (currently priced $949 at Best Buy). I have quite a bit of RAM that should be easy to change out if needed (see below). I do some emulator games (old NES and SNES), some online games such as D+D online and GTA V, but I would like to be able to have a good VR experience. I understand the current situation with GPUs and the difficulty of obtaining one. I think my current motherboard and processor are decent, although I may be mistaken. My current specs are below:
Dell XPS 8900
Skylake i7 6700 @ 3.4 GHZ
32 GB DDR4 (upgraded from 16 GB), 16 GB that came with the system and two sticks of 3200 8 GB DDR4 Corsair I believe
2 gb DDR4 GT 1030 ("upgraded" from GT 730( not much of an upgrade))
1 TB HDD
240 GB WD SSD (added)(I usually load my games from this drive)
450 Watt Power Supply
Any help would be appreciated and thank you!
