DaveRo Tech: Is it time for a new PC? (36) RE: Tech: Is it time for a new PC? 13 Mar 24


That seems a good result. It's certainly not a gaming system. I wouldn't have bought something without knowing what the motherboard was, but that one - while cheap - should be reliable.

My main 12 year old i7 desktop works fine, but I had another - 15 years old - which ran Windows 10, rather slowly, and that one failed. I've been looking at replacement parts. I've stuck to Intel because I understand their numbering, and with GigaByte because the last one lasted well, and it's Taiwanese. A mobo processor and RAM, and maybe a bigger PSU would cost £300 new from Amazon for Intel 10th generation - 4 year old technology. Mobos are very cheap, but processors are expensive and so is RAM. I reckon I can get that for <£200 on ebay - preferably as a bundle. But it'll take patience.
