Hi all. I bought my pc as a prebuilt maybe 5 years ago, it is an hp 410-010. I've made a few upgrades since then, such as a 1050 ti, 600w power supply (coming from the 180w), an added hard drive, and an additional 4gb stick of ram. The computer has been pretty sluggish for a years now- windows and apps are slow and my games perform a good amount worse than the benchmarks I've seen online. I'm thinking about spending around $100 to upgrade the pc- I've considered upgrading my cpu to prevent bottlenecking, aswell as getting completely new ram. Really trying to stick to a budget here so if I'm settling for a cpu I'd most likely buy refurbished. Don't see a reason to upgrade my motherboard either, so I'd need an lga1150 cpu.
