Hey,
Im having a desktop system with some parts of 5-8 years old.
I did some upgrades every now and then replacing a single part.
Last week i was considering replacing the hard drives (or actually adding an ssd evo 970 to use as C and keeping my old hard drives as D for some files i don't use that often).
However i found out my motherboard doesn't even support that SSD anymore.
so that made me consider replacing the motherboard too.
Which brought up the problem of the processor... that needs to be replaced too then right? or is it backwards compatible?
Also can anyone see what the slowing factor is of my desktop? I think its the hard drives since they are the oldest parts but perhaps im not using my desktop efficient at all and does it have more factors that make it not work efficient (for example the grapic card is quite new but rest is old).
What would you recommend replacing and in which order? Im using it for gaming like: total war Warhammer 2, company of heroes 2, battlefield 5 etc.
Would appreciate your advice; i know some basics of desktops but not enough to spot the bottlenecks right away (except guessing based on how old the parts are).
