PCs dont really age that much nowadays. well. depending on use. if its video games, most triple a games still recommend a card that was released 5 years ago. and if you get the new ones, all you get is nicer shadows and shit. oh boy. the best upgrade ive done for my PC in the last 5 years was get a 1440p, 144hz monitor. --- JISOO JISOO <cite>_BlueMonk posted [p:956548672] in I just spe...
