Hi all I was given a PC, that's been sitting in a closet for 2yrs, the person that gave it to me didn't care what happened with it at first. However reached out to me the other day asking if it was still a good enough system to donate, he wants to give it to a kid at the school he teaches at that is low income. That way he has a PC of his own to play games on with his friends, and can use to study for school and prepare for life.
Specs of the PC...
I5 4670k "no idea how old however still runs like brand new and no over heating signs period"
Liquid cooler "no idea what kind how old or anything, it was part of the original prebuilt iBuyPower system"
16gb ddr3 1600MHz 2x8gb
Gtx 770 gold edition "2gb gddr5"
Thermal take 850w psu. No idea the model or age
Asus z87-k "sketchy and probably going to be replaced... With Asus sabertooth z97 since the z87-k is reporting over heating issues.
What we would like to know is what would you guys recommend for upgrades to the machine before he donated it... I'm thinking of getting like a gtx 1070 super or something to put in it instead of the 770 but other then that I'm not sure what is actually a good path to upgrade this machine.
Edit, sorry he said the kid he has in mind to give the PC to is in 7th grade, this kid has apparently done nothing but help everyone better themselves. To the point he is spending 75% of his days at school helping the teachers tutor other students in need of assistance. The budget for upgrading the PC is about $250. I already have a gtx 1070 to put in the PC and the mobo.... However if there are any recommendations to replace something that would be awesome thank you
