[SOLVED] Upgrading an old PC

[nichelegian]

Hey guys.

So I need to upgrade an old office PC (it's taking about a minute to startup Excel, real struggle). Here are the specs
ASRock G31M-S
Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5300 2.6 GHz
DDR2 4 GB RAM
1 TB HDD
Windows 10

My question is: is upgrading to an SSD enough to make it perform faster for basic applications like Microsoft Office and Chrome or should I go the other way and focus on upgrading the CPU and RAM (and motherboard)?

ssd and more ram. but it ddr2. wouldn't make sense to spend money on that

upgrade your CPU to Core2Duo/Quad. I recommend to use E8400. Pentium dual core is obsolete right now. Then you can upgrade to SSD if it's not enough. 4GB Ram is still good for office and browsing.
